Perfect by Charles Hoover
Perfection it seems can only be achieved and mastered in the most concrete and substantial of forms. "2 + 2 = 4", this is no blissful feat, and yet it is what we comprehend the ideal perfect to be, flawless in almost every trace of existence, except for the instinctive need of the human mind to create more problems for itself. This proves, to the point that our frivolous pursuit of perfection is unfounded. For once we have it we create new problems with which to solve.
This is the reason anyone does anything, to be ideally greater. For what is seen, once mastered, is no longer perfect, it is nothing. As children, we struggled long and hard learning how to read and yet this accomplishment is not admired, but, scoffed at as something so elementary that without this knowledge someone is lame or lazy. That is why there will always be the mathematician, technologist and scientist, the infinite array, of complexities in the world. It's what makes us tick what makes mankind so curious, so successful and so doomed.
In this sense we are not so far as we would so like to believe. We can not sit on what we have accomplished, with the knowledge in mind that no matter what is discovered no matter how right, a new question will arise. In this sense the Amish are more advanced then we are, they have learned to admire existence and the perfection it holds. They have learned to do this, with thanks and happiness, they have broken free from the endless cycle of question that we call life. Is perfection something to be sought after or admired? Having complexity and question draining, the admiration of previous triumph, is not a very perfect tale for mankind. How about learning to be content, then we can truly live with open eyes and open minds in a world of happiness and wisdom.
I wish I could be so strong as to be able to achieve such a feat, but no, I am a captive, along with the rest of the modern world. Trapped in a cage our minds create for us.
In short, In order to achieve perfection, we need only comprehend that we already are.
in the words of Bette Davis: "I am doomed to an eternity of compulsive work. No set goal achieved satisfies. Success only breeds a new goal. The golden apple devoured has seeds. It is endless."
