The only thing in life which has truly evolved to a perfect state is boredom. Perfection is boring where as imperfection is interesting and attracts the attention of the intelligent mind. When the mind perfects something, it finds itself satisfied momentarily and subsequently gets bored, just to search for the next imperfection. Perfection is thus attained when it starts to bore the intelligent mind.

Perfection is subjective. What' s perfect in my eyes isn' t perfect in yours. I can find perfection in imperfection.

you philosophy is extremely impressive and accurate I must say... I can't comment any further...
One could take the point of view that everything is perfect. However, that is only if they accept that everything has it's place in the universe and in reality, and that each thing has it's own role to play, and that it does it perfectly.
For example, a squirell is not thought of as being perfect. But it's role in reality is to be a squirrel; a task which it fulfills perfectly. It is not a perfect being in the sense on a godlike being, but it is perfectly like it is meant to be.
THere is a difference between being perfect and being godlike.
Another example: A circle might be perfectly circular, but it is not godlike at all.

The idiot has achieved perfection, that's why he bores the genius and vice versa. Who says perfection is superiority? The imperfect minds are the most intelligent.
