The thought that you can perceive perfection is one of a fool. You cannot become perfect, nor can you see perfection manifested. Yet it is a fools errand to not try to be better than what you see as best. You can't expect to be seen as perfect to anyone but yourself. Simply because if you can accept yourself, then you will often be denied by others as well. If you can't accept yourself, then try to become more. If you can't achieve what you want, get help. Not enough people understand the means to achieve their aspirations, but others know how to achieve someone else's goal. If someone hails you as perfect, then you simply share the same views. If someone degrades you for irrelevant flaws, then they hold a different standard. Perfection is only a concept created by fools, and people who don't understand the cruelty in the actions of others. Whoever thinks of themselves as perfect hasn't met one greater than them. In this world, the closest thing that I can fathom to be synonymous with perfection, is knowing that you are imperfect, but being content with who you are.
