The Philosophy of Perfection

0 comments
It truly does not exist. Period. What Plato said about our souls supposedly living in the world of forms where everything is perfect, and since we are now living in the world of senses, made me realize that we are only copying what we saw.

A copy of something perfect can never be perfect because, well, it's only a copy. In this world, perfection is stupid. So why do we even try so hard to achieve it? It is physically impossible to do so. Sure, we possess the ideology of perfection but can we really grasp that concept? That IT JUST DOESN'T EXIST?

Why do we expect so much?
Why can't we ever just be content with how we are?
We do we keep wanting to reach higher and higher for unachievable things?
Let's get real. Sure, the human person is complex enough to do whatever he wants to do. He can be anything he wants to be. But, perfect? No.

There's a reason why we're human beings, and not gods or goddesses. We aren't made to be perfect.

Nah, just a random thought.
