Are we perfect beings?


Recommended Posts

I think the answer to the 'why?' question G, is that basically, the mind likes having something to do..

 

There's always a question of do you (anyone) choose to engage in chasing after some concept of perfection, or just let yourself be. Chasing after stuff gets to be pretty tiresome in time.

the question that needs answering first is... what is perfection? what would be the perfect being actually be like?

 

because without that definition, you will never reach perfection because you will always be able to find some "ah, but" or something that could be improved...

In order to achieve perfection, first we would need to be perfectionists, and by definition alone, a perfectionist would be incapable of recognizing true perfection, for they'd either be feeling a constant compulsion to improve everything, or a constant sense of dissatisfaction.

and by that sence maybe we are perfect, because we do have this compulsion to improve everything, and a constant sense of dissatisfaction..

 

see, this is why there needs to be a clear deffinition, because everything can be thrown towards it from all directions :)

If we are perfect, it would mean we cannot be perfectionists, because a perfectionist would never recognize true perfection. So, yes.. we do need to define what perfection is.
