You know the saying "nobody is perfect" and then follows on to there is "no such thing as perfect/perfection", etc...
Here on Antifuck, I am going to prove that wrong. Perfection does exist. It exist in ways you probably would have never considered.
When understanding the term perfect and perfection, we find ourselves connoting the definition with universality. Perfection is this complete and flawless state, ideal and concept that is widely agreed upon. However, we all understand that this is not true since everyone has their own notions of perfection. This then leads me to my point...
Perfection does not exist in the universal, but in the subjective. Proof of that is in our language - the cliché and everyday phrases we can find ourselves using, such as "you're in perfect health", "this is the perfect dress", "(this is) perfect!" or for the cheeky "I am perfect".
It is ourselves, our individuality, who define the state, ideal and concept of perfection and in turn create its existence.
Perfection is defined by our subjectivity. On the other hand, you can also say our subjectivity is defined by perfection.
"Practice makes perfect", "Achieving perfection", "I'm perfecting my skills", or "I'm searching for the perfect..." Proofs in our language of perfection defining our subjectivity.
We establish what we consider as the ideal outcome and strive toward it. This is why we have goals, objectives and ambitions.
INCOMPLETE POST! WILL FINISH...WHEN I CAN!
"Perfection is in the eye of the beholder", or as some others like to say it "Perfection is in the eye of the beer holder."

If "practice makes perfect" why then does one 'practice' if "no one is perfect".
It is here that i agree upon your anlysis upon the subject matter. Perfecion is that of a subjective state. For another might see flaws when another might see beauty.
I remember by swimming teacher saying "practice doesn't make perfect, it just makes you really good at whatever you practice."
Perfection shouldn't be subjective.
So what if we can just change the point of view to make something perfect. It doesn't have any benefit. All you're doing is manipulating the rules to suit the POV. It also means that you essentially ignore the reason why something was imperfect. Nothing changes.
i dont know...
its entirely philosophical...
i mean, if perfection were trully 100% of anything; then it would be safe to assume that imperfect would mean 0% of anything.
therefore, an imperfect diamond is really just a piece of coal?
Actually, imperfect simply means "not perfect", hence "not 100%", so an imperfect diamond could be a "92%" diamond.
