A society of perfection is one that performs like clock-work, is that all we are, a clock at work?

Question

Now I realize the mockery behind the Coo Coo Clock.
It certainly works like clock-work. It simply goes round and around, endlessly.
Its only purpose is time and what is life?
Time.
Everything else about us is an artificial and superficial distraction.
Ironically, this world is tailored to mankind's survival and destruction.
1. Nothing is perfect.
2. Perfection is hollow.
3. Perfection is pure.
4. Perfection does not exist.
5. Life is a Perfect circle.
(you mean like a "0" / zero or are you implying life is a clock???)

-An imperfect circle, is not always a circle, but always cycles.
-Even an imperfect circle's purpose is clear, to connect everything together and become whole.
"$weet?" (it more of a prison than a family)

Answer 1

Again with the incoherent lists and unfathomable philosophy. I'm not sure what your purpose is in coming down from your exalted place of supreme knowledge to inform us that there is no hope, and that we're all wasting our time living. You think life is better dead?

Answer 2

You're right for the most part and just plain confusing for the rest. It's true that clocks move in circles and work emotionlessly, so do any other machines, society is not a machine, if we were all regimented or even similar, there wouldn't be people like you and me questioning it and depressed by it. I have to say choice 4 is the best, there is no such thing a perfect even in today's conformist society. I don't think life itself is a circle tho or that the "clock" measures time passing. I think it instead counts down the precious time we have left. It's a good thought that merely by existing we are all connected and have a place in the world but i'm not sure if i believe that... Thanks for making me think.

Answer 3

Here's another take on this, from an SF short story I heartily recommend. (I believe it won the first Nebula award for a short story.)

-- begin quote --

YOU CANNOT VOTE UNLESS YOU APPEAR AT 8:45 A.M.

"I don't care if the script is good, I need it Thursday!"

CHECK-OUT TIME IS 2:00 P.M.

"You got here late. The job's taken. Sorry."

YOUR SALARY HAS BEEN DOCKED FOR TWENTY MINUTES TIME LOST.

"God, what time is it, I've gotta run!"

And so it goes. And so it goes. And so it goes. And so it goes goes goes goes goes tick tock tick tock tick tock and one day we no longer let time serve us, we serve time and we are slaves of the schedule, worshippers of the sun's passing, bound into a life predicated on restrictions because the system will not function if we don't keep the schedule tight.

Until it becomes more than a minor inconvenience to be late. It becomes a sin. Then a crime.

Answer 4

I disagree. A perfect society is based on love for one another, the imperfections are what makes us indeviduals and the love we share makes us humble enough to forgive and to strenghten each other. I really don't care for perfect things or people.

Answer 5

by our self is the extra desirable thank you to vulnerable up, yet understand the situation is that we continually working for incomes for our own livelihood, so which you would be able to com-petite our self with time. In such situation our organic and organic clock would be dislocate. So we could desire to continually count on the Alarm Clock.

Answer 6

I think you answered your own question. Perfection is not a human trait. Freedom to be who we are is as close as we can get. In as much as there is no free society on earth we really have no model.
