I've always found the concept of "perfection" flawed (ironically).
I've spent a great deal of time thinking about it and no matter which mental path I take I always eventually reach the same point... which is that "perfection is simply not plausible".
For example... my version of what I would consider "perfect" is not yours, nor is it anyone elses. It can't possibly be. Which means that even if you somehow happened to achieve something in a way that you considered to be "perfect"... no-one else would see it that way. Likewise, if you achieved something that someone else considered to be "perfect"... likely you wouldn't see it that way.
Additionally, perfection cannot exist in a static state. The line where "perfection" as even a concept could exist for you or me or anyone else would always be moving. Which would mean that even "perfection" could not last even if it could somehow be achieved.
Because of this the whole concept is flawed. And the pursuit of it in itself can only be folly.
I have also considered this in terms of a "heaven" (which is interpreted by many to be a perfect place of existence). This kind of place isn't possible, unless it exists in a completely different state for each and every entity who ever went there... and it was constant state of change. But even then... only a small part of it would be what an individual interpretes as "perfect", because the majority of it would have to cater for everyone elses "perfection" (which would make it "imperfect" for the rest). And on top of all that... your "perfection" couldn't be shared with anyone else, because it wouldn't be perfect for anyone else... which would mean you could only enjoy it alone. Which again would likely make it "imperfect" again.
Many people consider "balance" to be "perfection". But even what you or I or anyone else considers to be "balanced" would be different to each other. Your interpretation of "perfect balance" would not be the same as anyone elses.
In the end, perfection cannot exist. It is an illusionary concept that humans created to describe the "perfect balance" of their own ever changing state personal biases and individual interpretations.
And therefore deliberately trying to pursue such a flawed concept can only be an utter waste of time.
The only realistic goal can be to do the best that you can do and (if you wish) to try and do improve on your past attempts if you ever do it again in the future.
