Perfection!

[KichigaiNeko]

Either nothing or everything is perfect. Because either nothing or everything has 'flaws'.... if you want an objective perspective on this that is. Because since 'flaws' are entirely man made concepts and since perfection= "without flaws", then 'perfection' is an entirely subjective concept and value just like 'flaws'. So, being a complete nihilist when it comes to all objective values, I don't believe that anything is at all perfect in an objective sense (or you might as well say "everything is perfect", that's equally meaningless - it's basically the same thing just with opposite wording!) - just as how I don't believe that anything at all has 'flaws' in an objective sense. Why? Because I don't believe I know of the existence of any for any objective values whatsoever.

I don't understand!
I am wondering if nature has flaws. An example would be an evolution of a life from in the wrong direction, therefore the life form would become extinct because it is flawed.

Perfect is an artificial word because it is only defined and judged by humans. I consider nature to be "perfect" hence I am perfect and everything I do is perfect, even when it is "wrong."

How can you be so sure it is only defined and judged by humans!

I'll go with ZB on this one

"Depends where the thought takes you"

Also, "perfection is a human value judgment call" ..it really depends.

How can you be so sure it is only human!

I'm just wondering if reality is perfect.

Everything is subject to it, so could you call reality perfect?

Do you mean reality as in everything! I believe reality is flawed. As in some things out there are not perfect, without flaw or unifrom.

Silly..YOU are the one raising the question ...am I incorrect in assuming that you are human??

Nature and all that you see around you is 'imperfect' for a given value.

I would think that perfection is an idea construct ...totally unattainable.

What we live in is a work in progress.... mind you i havn't spoken to any genes lately.
