But what is "The Perfect"?
Or more than that
Can we even define it?
Or do we need to?
***
"The Perfect" might be the absolute thing that covers everything in all aspects. Or maybe, there might be a definiton such that being perfect to an enclosed system under finite constraints.
In all cases (for "living" systems), systems and constraints are constantly interacting and changing. Thus, definition of the perfection cannot adapt to this change. However I figured out two exceptions.
First one suggests an ensured perfection. Let's state that "I am the only one who can be perfectly myself." This is always true. Although my self changes constantly, nothing can catch this change as me (my self), and I do it exact, in other words perfectly.
The other one suggests an impossible perfectness, such that being absolute is the perfectness. Think absolute as the universal set (it can have infinite dimensions as well).
***
However the last question concerns me the most: "Do we need to define the perfection and run for it?".
I think we should reach the understanding of the distinction between wanting the perfect and doing the best we can. I think that people saying that I am perfectionist couldn't realize their fail, because they were unaware that they have a definition of perfection and it is vulnerable to change.
I did what I did because I believed that there was no reason for me to stop, if I can do something more on what I was doing. Also it is not the perfection to reach/do something that nobody can manage.
***
I believe that I do not need a definition of perfection. No matter considering whether I am close to "perfect" or not, I should do what I can do under any arbitrary condition. Because I am both perfect and exactly opposite of the perfect at the same time according to two "reliable" exceptions I mentioned above.
***
Pursuit of the perfection...
It is like chasing the time.
You close your eyes
Put your hand on your wrist
Grab your watch
And think...
I catch it!
But when you take your hand back
You realize...
Indeed, you couldn't!
This is that meaningless...
