Is anything perfect?

[Shurikens and Lightning]

Okay so I was just reading a topic about perfect game theory. And I was thinking if anything in the universe is perfect. So far I have come up with nothing. Why do we work to try and make perfection when the best we can get is .9 to infinity.

post if you can think of something that is perfect.

Life would be way too boring if everything was perfect.

Well nothing can be perfect unless it's just perfect to yourself. I find alot of songs perfect because I can't imagine how it could be any better than what they already are.

The only thing I can think of are exams on history and mathematical equations that you might get every question correct on. Once you start getting into subjects that contain subjectivity, people are going to nitpick and disagree about the topic.

This also raises a point. Does everyone have to agree that something is perfect before it can be? Say for example everyone in the entire world agreed that a certain piece of art is perfect except for one individual. Does it make it imperfect; if not how many people does it take to make something imperfect?

Also what different people even consider perfection on subjective experiences is different, so creating something perfect to all or even many seems an impossibility.

Perfect cannot exist. It is an ideal, just like inferior or normal, that changes from one person to another. And since it cannot be called perfect by every single demographic or person, it ceases to be perfect.

Nothing is perfect, Or if it is then it is not within the realm of human perception, By that what i mean is if someone is painting a picture, Striving for perfection, How will they know it is perfect, As it may be perfect, If he/she adds one too many brushstrokes, It is not perfect, only beautiful.

Perfection is something that will elude humanity forever, The best we can strive for is "pretty good".

As Billie Joe Armstrong once said, "School is practise for the future. Practise makes perfect, but nobodies perfect, so why bother practising?"


Also, Bowie. He has no flaws.

maybe the concept of perfection is something which is perfect. could the base concept upon which all of our ideas of a thing, perfection in particular, be flawed?
allthough this idea is not my own....

Lol im no expert, but thats how i see things.

I 'spose if you want an easy way around it, What does perfect describe? if perfection is unachievable, then how do we know that perfect isnt what we already have, or something we can Achieve *pop*...ahh my mind just imploded...

No. Something seems perfect when it's good as the best thing of its kind that can be imagined, but we can never say there's no way nothing better will ever be imagined, and then the process begins again. Believing in perfection is dangerous, as it can make you unwilling to change when something better comes along.
