"In imperfection, is perfection."

This is the quote that comes to mind when contemplating whether or not this world is "perfect". "Perfection" as a term is a bit questionable, even unattainable. What really can be describled as "perfect" exactly anyway, that is, as unanimously perfect? Perfection, in fact, seems more like a notion, a concept, an idea, or a theory than an actual state of being in reality. Furthermore, time is always moving, so even when, if ever, attained, a state of perfection in reality is rarely permanent. Perfection, if even possible, is most likely objective. So only in that way is "perfection" possible, depending on your definition, of course. For myself, as is demonstrated in the quote, perfection is acheived when you find the purpose for everything- even, or i should say especially, in all of life's little inconveniences. Once you find their reason, the chance of you learning something from them is greatly heightened. so thats what its about: turning "imperfection" into something useful, because when you do, suddenly they aren't "imperfections" anymore, but opportunities. And sometimes learning something worthwhile from something that seemed nothing but an inconvenience is more rewarding than had it been a "perfect" situation to start with.

So if perfection is really about appreciating imperfection, because really perfection is not possible if you cannot do that, the question has changed from what is perfection to what is imperfection? rest assured, imperfection is everywhere. imperfection is in human beings, in daily situations, in weather, "imperfection" can be find everywhere, even down to the earth's geography. if you think about it, is a state of "perfection" achievable at all? After all, little quirks, little mistakes, little differences is what makes life so interesting. This idea is most apparent when considering a "perfect" person. The "perfect" human would be, well, "perfect." Programmed to never forget anything that ever crosses their path, always well mannered, always prepared, always right...this person would not only be boring, but down right annoying. The little things, little "imperfections" that we each have is what makes us different from the next person; what makes us ourselves. can we really look at those things as "imperfections"? As for imperfection in situations, things that we think get in our way of "perfection," those are just unavoidable. If you can't take those in stride, you'll never be able to
