Perfection

The definition of perfection is "excellent or complete beyond practical or theoretical improvement" as well as "accurate, exact, or correct in every detail".


Truly is there a thing such as perfection? Can one be correct in every detail?


As far as we know there is truly no way to create or gain perfection, so why do we go under the pretense of perfection?


Can anyone explain just why we must put up the pretense of perfection? Is it simply because we, as humans, are too afraid to admit our faults and keep the pretense of a person we are not alive?


I have heard two great answers so far:

"It's insecurity, plain and simple. Some people are so sure they have nothing to offer the world, that they have to act a certain way to feel important or to get noticed."

and another: "Isn't it stupid, yet entertaining to witness? They cannot be perfect, yet they are too blind to see their imperfection in attempting perfection. Character is everything and that is what they lack; therefore, they have nothing. They are not only imperfect, they are also empty... A human shell filled with ego."

So over-all, "Why do we strive for what is not possible?"
