On the Consistancy of Perfection

EDIT: Please read the post below this to actually understand everything

A few days ago I wrote about the impossibility of perfection. After browsing my teacher's blog, I decided to completely contradict myself today.

“I write in order to change myself and in order not to think the same thing as before.”
~M. Foucault

So I have decided to take this literally, and will attempt to change my own views on perfection. Lets see how this goes...

After reading the outlandish comments written by Mikey J, I have decided to take him on. He claims that perfection is impossible. Impossible? Nothing is impossible. As my good friend El once said:

"No one ever gets far unless he accomplishes the impossible everyday."
-Elbert Hubbard

Oh man, I need to stop with the Montaigne. Enough quotes! Anyway, the point is, perfection is possible. Not in the normal way, but perfection is very possible, and it is everywhere.

"See that flower over there? Yea, that's perfection"
"See how happy those little kids are? Yea, that's perfection"
"How about our democracy? Freedom? Yea, that's perfection"

By perfect I don't mean: No mistakes, no flaws, no inconsistencies. Everything is perfect in it's own way. That flower has a hole in it, from where a Japanese Beetle had his lunch. One of the kids just sprained his ankle, and cannot run anymore. A corrupt official just embezzled $2 million from our federal taxes. These mistakes are perfect. That beetle will now life on to produce more cute beetle babies. That injured kid will sit out from football, and discover his life calling: video games. That official will be caught, and the administration will increase security and ensure fair tax distribution.

Everything is perfect. All the mistakes, flaws, and inconsistencies are perfect. That is just how things are made. Anything alive is amazing, perfect in how the physiology allows the organism to live and grow.

So what if you don't pass that math test. That mistake was perfect! Now, you should still try your best and all that (see Obama) to acheive your goals, but your mistakes are okay.

So, you overachiever that is in 4 sports, president of 7 clubs, has a 4.million GPA, and is the homecoming king, Relax, don't worry about being perfect, because you already are. And the world is still going...
