a lot of it is ego....thinking that we ARE perfect or can achieve perfect. or that there IS a perfect to achieve.
there just isn't. take one of nature's beauties....the rose. or snowflakes. each are unique, no two are alike, but none are THE perfect representation. compare the flight of a great blue heron....slow and almost prehistoric in motion. versus the hummingbird - minuscule zippy little thing. both can fly, they just go about it in their own way.
you have YOUR way. and it's good enough. perfectly IMPERFECT.
