perfection doesn't exist, and never will. everything can always take improvements, even us. our imperfection makes us human. which hair color is better? blonde or black? neither! eye color, brown or blue? neither! beach or valley? neither! everything has its own positive features and negatives so perfection doesn't truly exist in any form. like cell phones. they let us communicate and text message and download things, but it costs money, the picture graphics aren't as good as on a tv screen, and u cant use them in class! as u can see, everything has many flaws, so perfection is just a word. a meaningless word.

Perfection IS absolutely achievable. Within limits. It depends on which perfection you're after.
For some people, perfection extends in all directions. To be perfectly knowledgeable, you would have to know EVERYTHING. According to our current scientific understanding, this strict kind of perfection that is always true and completely unassailable is quite simply not possible anywhere in our universe. At least not that we've seen.
Suppose, however, that you choose a subset of knowledge. There are many that are still clearly beyond human grasp, such as perfect knowledge of all written work. But if we get small enough, then we CAN get something that is within human capability. Some people with eidetic memory, for example, can tell you every word they've ever read perfectly. And even an average person like you or me has probably memorized a poem or a few favourite quotes.
And we can recite them PERFECTLY.
Achievable perfection, then, involves having a goal that is within your capabilities. It's unrealistic in most circumstances to suggest that a person will never over any performance make a mistake. But what if your version of 'perfect' ALLOWS mistakes?
This may sound strange at first, but consider one very good example: being perfectly yourself. While other people would have difficulty doing a perfect imitation of you, almost by definition you are perfectly yourself without even trying most of the time. Even when you let others influence you, that is SO what you would do. And when you do not succeed at tasks, that can be part of being perfect as well.
So perfection is quite achievable. Not ALL perfection. But some, at least.

Perfection is an idea that does not exist in nature as it does in the imagination of humanity. The cultural idea of perfection is 'that without flaw' according the the culture defining it. Culture strives to create the 'perfect' and make perfect copies of the 'perfect'. Nature creates everything new and unique with no perfect copies.
The idea of perfection is a lie told to ensure you are striving to maintain the continuity of your culture.

Classifying something actually as suitable is often no longer elementary, through fact this is an absolute, and each physique has thier very own subjective perceptions. I certainly have the comparable misgivings approximately 'faultless.' those issues propose that each physique would be happy with the priority under each difficulty for all time. this is not attainable. Faces of friends, family members, smiles...all make me happy, yet i'm going to in basic terms call it that. an surprising ingredient that makes me happy. no prefer for powerful speech.

The chaos that is our existence is "perfect". The bits and pieces of order that are amongst the disorder are "perfect". In other words there is only a PERCEPTION or PERCEIVED perfection. It's a bit like that old saying "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Subject to individual interpretation. PEACE!

Perfection just means getting it exactly the way you want it.
Somewhere there is a pig covered in mud, laying in front of a pile of garbage, thinking "This is Perfect"
Note Kitty's answer. Is Perfection REALLY a meaningless word, or are SOME people just impossible to please. hehehe.

God is the only being I know to be perfect.
For every day I see this beautiful earth that he created!
We are called his masterpieces!
Even though I'm a person that does strive for perfection; I
know that I am not!
When I looked it up it said, flawless,completely correct,most
excellent. Just a few!
So My real answer has to be God!

--YES , BUT it is relative!
----For instance a tie or a pair of shoes can be said to be perfect according to the makers specifications!
----That does not mean that the shoes will never wear out or the tie will never wrinkle!
--RELIGIOUSLY , please note:
*** it-2 p. 602 Perfection ***
--The thought of perfection is expressed through Hebrew terms drawn from such verbs as ka·lal′ (perfect [compare Eze 27:4]), sha·lam′ (come to completion [compare Isa 60:20]), and ta·mam′ (be completed, come to perfection [compare Ps 102:27; Isa 18:5]). In the Christian Greek Scriptures the words te′lei·os (adjective), te·lei·o′tes (noun), and te·lei·o′o (verb) are used similarly, conveying such ideas as bringing to completeness or full measure (Lu 8:14; 2Co 12:9; Jas 1:4), being full grown, adult, or mature (1Co 14:20; Heb 5:14), having attained the appropriate or appointed end, purpose, or goal (Joh 19:28; Php 3:12).
***Importance of Correct Viewpoint.
--For correct Bible understanding one must not make the common error of thinking that everything called “perfect” is so in an absolute sense, that is, to an infinite degree, without limitation. Perfection in this absolute sense distinguishes only the Creator, Jehovah God. Because of this Jesus could say of his Father: “Nobody is good, except one, God.” (Mr 10:18) Jehovah is incomparable in his excellence, worthy of all praise, supreme in his superb qualities and powers, so that “his name alone is unreachably high.” (Ps 148:1-13; Job 36:3, 4, 26; 37:16, 23, 24; Ps 145:2-10, 21) Moses extolled God’s perfection, saying: “For I shall declare the name of Jehovah. Do you attribute greatness to our God! The Rock, perfect is his activity, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness, with whom there is no injustice; righteous and upright is he.” (De 32:3, 4) All of God’s ways, words, and law are perfect, refined, free from flaw or defect. (Ps 18:30; 19:7; Jas 1:17, 25) There is never any just cause for objection, criticism, or faultfinding regarding Him or his activity; rather, praise is always due Him.—Job 36:22-24.
***Other perfection relative.
--Perfection of any other person or thing, then, is relative, not absolute. (Compare Ps 119:96.) That is, a thing is “perfect” according to, or in relation to, the purpose or end for which it is appointed by its designer or producer, or the use to which it is to be put by its receiver or user. The very meaning of perfection requires that there be someone who decides when “completion” has been reached, what the standards of excellence are, what requirements are to be satisfied, and what details are essential. Ultimately, God the Creator is the final Arbiter of perfection, the Standard-Setter, in accord with his own righteous purposes and interests.—Ro 12:2; see JEHOVAH (A God of moral standards).
--As an illustration, the planet Earth was one of God’s creations, and at the end of six creative ‘days’ of work toward it, God pronounced the results “very good.” (Ge 1:31) It met his supreme standards of excellence, hence it was perfect. Yet he thereafter assigned man to “subdue it,” evidently in the sense of cultivating the earth and making the whole planet, and not just Eden, a garden of God.—Ge 1:28; 2:8..........
.........Perfection and Free Will.
--The foregoing information aids in understanding how perfect creatures of God could become disobedient. To view this as incompatible with perfection is to ignore the meaning of the term, substituting a personal concept that goes contrary to fact. God’s intelligent creatures are granted free moral agency, the privilege and responsibility of making a personal decision as to the course they will take. (De 30:19, 20; Jos 24:15) It is evident that this was the case with the first human pair, so that their devotion to God could be subject to test. (Ge 2:15-17; 3:2, 3) As their Maker, Jehovah knew what he wanted of them, and from the Scriptures it is clear that he wanted, not an automatic, virtually mechanical obedience, but worship and service that sprang from hearts and minds motivated by genuine love. (Compare De 30:15, 16; 1Ch 28:9; 29:17; Joh 4:23, 24.) If Adam and his wife had lacked the ability to choose in this matter, they would not have met God’s requirements; they would not have been complete, perfect, according to his standards.
--It must be remembered that perfection as it relates to humans is a relative perfection, limited to the human sphere. Though created perfect, Adam could not go beyond the limits assigned him by his Creator; he could not eat dirt, gravel, or wood without suffering ill effects; if he tried to breathe water instead of air, he would drown. Similarly, if he allowed his mind and heart to feed on wrong thoughts, this would lead to entertaining wrong desires and finally bring sin and death.—Jas 1:14, 15; compare Ge 1:29; Mt 4:4.
--That the creature’s individual will and choice are determining factors readily becomes evident. If we were to insist that a perfect man could not take a wrong course where a moral issue was involved, should we not also logically argue that an imperfect creature could not take a right course where such moral issue was involved? Yet some imperfect creatures do take a right course on moral issues involving obedience to God, even choosing to suffer persecution rather than change from such a course; while at the same time others deliberately engage in doing what they know is wrong. Thus not all wrong actions can be excused by human imperfection. The individual’s will and choice are deciding factors. In the same way, it was not human perfection alone that would guarantee right action by the first man but, rather, the exercise of his own free will and choice as motivated by love for his God and for what was right.—Pr 4:23.
