Many words exist that perplex the mind- the only answer i can think of to your question is this- If perfect didn't exist we wouldn't have anything to compare it too!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

The idea needs to exist, especially in the sense of religion!. It is thought that God is perfect or Jesus, living without flaw!. Heaven, angels, etc, depending upon your belief, are perfect!.

The word has also become slang, such as the word "awesome" or "spectacular" over time!. "Absolutely perfect", describing a situation, can simply put off an extreme of what one is feeling!.

And, of course, everything needs an opposite!. Where there is light, there is an opposite to compare to: dark!. If everything were light, the concept of "lightness" or "darkness" would not exist either!. It's the same with "perfect"!. For something to be "flawed", there needs to be something opposite!. So, for comparative purposes, something can be "more perfect" than another thing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it all depends on whose doing the defining!. What I think is perfect, you obviously don't, because you don't believe in perfect!. I think that a snow flake is perfect, most are perfectly symmetrical and are amazing looking under a microscope!. So there's one example of something perfect, I bet if you really tried you could find some more!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am an agnostic!. I believe in creator if you will (or any other description others have!.)

And I absolutely refuse to think that the creator is perfect!.

Suffering, inequality, lack of justice & Freedom and all other issues ailing human beings is not the work of a perfection!.

So the one I call the creator is NOT perfect!. If anything it should be imperative to bring him to trial, punish it accordingly, etc!. We all know what we thing of perfection!. But even my it-creator-doesn't!. It is utterly flawed!.

I agree nothing is prefect!. But envy always rears its ugly head when the situation calls for it, its basically for the true believers!. Believing in a supreme being that is perfect in their eyes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

what i want to know is what is perfect!? how do we know what it is if it has never existed!? how can something be perfect!? is perfect reserved for one thing (can it only apply to one thing) can a human be perfect as well as a sentence or a car!? how can these things achieve perfection!? what will it be when its perfect!?
don't pay attention to what i wrote its nonsensical rambling!.
i like what My Name Doesn't Fit Here wrote thoughWww@QuestionHome@Com

Who ever said that nothing was perfect!?
PEOPLE aren't perfect, God is!. The world was perfect before sin!.
also, you can use perfect to define your goal,!. Though you won't get there, there's no harm in trying! Www@QuestionHome@Com
