Ярополк Пономарёв Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Because of Bleach manga in Shonen Jump I have a different thought about perfection. "[size=2]Nothing in the world is perfect. It may be a cliche, but it's true. That's why the average person yearns for protection. But, is perfection really desirable? I think not. It's empty' stagnant. I abhor perfection. Perfection is a dead end. It leaves no room for innovation or improvement; or for wisdom or for talent. Do you understand? For us scientists, perfection means, despair. Be greater than all that's come before, but, never be perfect."[/size] [size=2] [/size][right][size=2]-Mayuri Kurosuchi in Shonen Jump of March 2011[/size][/right][right][size=2] [/size][/right][right][size=2] [/size][/right][left][size=2] [/size][/left][left][size=2] [/size][/left][left][size=7]Discuss Perfection.[/size][/left] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementuo Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Nothing is perfect. Thinking that you yourself are perfect is, in itself, a flaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuri Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 I did an essay on perfection I am paraphrasing, but this is a part I wrote "The word itself is not perfect. Why? Well because nothing can possibly achieve perfection..... People say that such and such is perfect, but that is not true because it was just something achieved that seemed to be perfect." can't remember much, but I got 100%...

Death Metal Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 I don't know. It's hard to say something is perfect when there are no examples to base it on. At least not any we know, I like to think that the Universe itself is the only thing to achieve that state. Then again, that's just my opinion of 'perfect'.

Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Nobody's perfect until you fall in love with that person. At least, that's how life is for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icy Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 "You are perfect as you are, not what you are not." ~ me. I've used this quote many times to motivate people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenzoTheHarpist Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 If you are in despair, you aren't perfect. I think that the perfect state for humans is in a state of endless learning and exploration. Perfect doesn't have to be without variation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yang Xiao-Long Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Perfection is subjective, and yet is not. Perfection is something unachievable, yet is possible. If you believe something is perfect, then you are correct and incorrect at the same time. Just think about it for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] He is stating perfection is a perspective. Frankly, in my opinion, perfection is imperfect. Perfection cannot be reached by humanity as we know it. Full stop. If attempted, it either roots one where one is, or it drives one away from perfection even more so than from where one began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheComposer Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Perfection i what every human strives for, but none reach. There will always be something new to learn, something to improve on, so perfection is impossible. That's how I see it anyway. And this seriously did remind me of Cell talking about how he's perfect in DBZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

--------------- Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Perfection itself is a flaw, and undesirable, as Gin said, but that doesn't mean striving for perfection isn't futile. If we believe we are perfect, there is nothing more we would achieve. If we give up on attempting to perfection, there is nothing more we [i]could possibly[/i] achieve. So, while perfection may he impossible, humanity [i]should[/i] strive for it. They won't reach it, but they'd get pretty f*ckin' close.
