The "Perfect Person" is flawed, or flawless?

Asked by RealEyesRealizeRealLies (30951points) August 31st, 2016

I’m beginning to believe that there would be something terribly wrong with a flawless person. I’m beginning to believe that our flaws perfect us.

A flawless person would have to be an alien, an angel, a child of deity. Perhaps all three. They would not be “OF” a natural planet earth without directed intervention from an otherworldly catalyst.

Yet through our flaws, there are two known catalysts that drive human nature towards seeking perfection. Sins and atonement are well seated in the thrones of ancient Karmic and Salvation teachings. And let’s not deny the biological catalyst that our very existence depends upon. The fact that any one of us is even here today is directly attributed to our ancestors running faster, eating faster, fucking faster, killing faster, killing better, killing our way to… “Perfection”.

Is the alien ghost angel a perfect killer?

Our biological imperative to look younger, healthier, stronger is so powerful that the “look of perfection” is often valued higher than the actual reality goals. Without “flaws”, who would march the path towards “perfection”?

As well, could humans be a mixture of both flaws and perfection? MLK was the “perfect” civil rights activist. But he wasn’t anything close to being a perfect female astronaut. And even if modern science made possible for MLK to become a “perfect female astronaut”, then is perfection sought as an agent to become, rather than the perfect agent we were born of this earth as?
