Closer to perfection, or not?

Postby Mitera Nikkou » Tue Aug 29, 2006 9:37 pm

After all this time... And this is what I think of. ^_^;

Anyway, it's pretty straight-forward. If you believe that there is such a thing as perfection in some way, consider whether or not the capacity to make mistakes puts someone closer or further from being perfect.

Dun-dun-dunnnnn!

He who pratices every day, and is satisfied with what he has done, This is Perfection.

He who doesn't pratices every day even if what he has done a better performance then the one who pratices everyday, This is imperfection.

Perfection does not exist in the reality.

Perfection is abstract.

A perfect circle only exist in concept.

'Perfection is abstract.'
Meaning, one person's vision of perfection is anothers' of inferiority.
I think that, upon making mistakes, and LEARNING from them, we come closer and closer to perfection, even though it is as a limit equation >_>

Consider this, everything is made, and everything is unique. So then if everything is unqiue isn't that thing perfect?

No, they are just diferent implementations or interpretations of a perfect model.

There cant be a perfect human, can it?

There was one, but he got killed...

And, I think the ABILITY to make mistakes grants us closer to perfection, insomuch as it grants us the ability to learn from those mistakes, and not make them again!

Perfection is when you the ability to make mistakes, but do NOT make them.

That's sort of what I think, Mitchel. While perfection depends on one's perceptions of it, I think that meeting a perfection is possible if you're capable of making mistakes, make mistakes, but, later on, don't make the same ones again. Otherwise you become insane, right; by repeating your mistakes? XD

And Jesus cheated, so he doesn't count as a perfect human. ;p The closest Biblical people that I can think of for being near perfect, would be Moses and Job.

The capacity to make mistakes is definitely an imperfection. That's how they used to kill crazy robots in sci-fi, by showing them that they were in error.

They are perfect in there own way ;)

People use the term perfection when they are satisfied with somthing, so perfection is being completely satisfied with somthing. ^^

Perfection is an illusion nobody can ever reach, that is not to say that you can't be the best you you can be, just that there's an unatainable fictonal standard hanging above our heads conjured up by someone's idea of what flawlessness is.

Heck, the concept of perfection is inherently flawed. Ask any five people what the perfect person looks, acts or sounds like and you get eight different answers. It's not about being perfect, it's about living up to individual potential.

That is all.

Saint of Sword:

There're two of me? @_@

Well, I guess that I did. More or less. But the difference in the way that I said it doesn't reiterate what you had said exactly. In fact, I bet that no one could have seen Sweet's definition for it my post. I tend to leave things open, because I'm too lazy to get into bare-boned specifics all of the time (hardly any of the time). My second sentence, in my last post, leaves a lot unsaid (and in such cases, I'm the only one that tends to be aware of what I mean). I guess I'll never learn. <.<;
