Perfection: What Is It?

[godnotgod]

Many say 'No one is perfect', but some of the religious practices tell us that it is possible to realize perfection.

Some say that there is no absolute perfection; that everyone has their own personal view of what it is.

Others say that, beyond personal views of perfection, there really is an Absolute behind everything that is absolute perfection itself.

Still others say that perfection is merely a concept; that, in reality, no such state actually exists.

What is your view and if you have an idea of what perfection is, you can provide an example here.

Here is one example of what I think perfection looks like:

Perfection is in the eye of the beholder.

Perfection is in the eye of the beholder.

And no Absolute Perfection that lies beyond the senses?

 

[psychoslice]

Perfection is realizing your true identity, we are all one, the mind believes itself to be separate from this oneness, so when we truly realize that we are one, then that is perfection.

Realizing everything as Imperfect is Perfect knowledge of Perfection.. According to me

Ah, I think perfection is seeing something duplicated on a surface, like putting something on front of a mirror or seeing a tree on the surface of a lake?

I know this!

It's coming home from work and seeing your two year old daughter smiling at you from the front steps.

That is similar to my understanding. Perfection is the thought of the thing reflecting the thing in itself. This of course means something different to the realist, the idealist, and the Zen master.

Oh, yeah... um, of course... that one!

I mean, it's common sense... everyone knows that, right?

Go out and look at a bed of flowers. Which one is not perfect. Sure, some are more perfect than others but why would we be less?

The little one is perfect. No, not that one, the other one! What are you, drunk?

Honestly I've taken the word and concept of "perfection" out of my vocabulary. It seems to have done more harm than good to the world, caused less happiness than it seems it's supposed to.

I am perfection. When your valueless butt comes home, your wife or girlfriend wishes it was me. I can do any job, I can please any woman, and I can control every situation. I am exactly what Superman wants to be when he grows up. I know what sky tastes like. I can feel your pain even faster than I can bring it down on you. Jesus would ask my advice if he were around. I can do the Conquerors Root and I can slam a revolving door. I am the very acme of evolution. I was what God meant when he said "Let there be light". Every woman wishes she had me, and every man wishes he was me. I stared Death in the eye and he blinked. I am the mother-******* man!

So, ladies, how you doin'?

Perfection is being able to draw a perfect circle.
