It's a common sense question, perfection cannot exist without imperfection because imperfection is what defines perfection, therefore one cannot truly appreciate or know what "perfection" is without experiencing imperfection.
I'm not sure that is true. If God existed prior to creation of the universe, he did so in a state of perfection. No imperfection would have existed. I think it is the other way around: No imperfection could exist without an idea of perfection.
