From Vincent at A Wayfarer’s Notes:
Perfection certainly doesn’t exist in the seen world. I conclude it must lie in the beholder’s eye. To see only perfection is surely a knack worth having.
How we use words is our own business, for such is language; and how they help us understand one another is a great wonder. For some, perfection is meeting our expectation 100%, that is to say, 0 flies in the ointment, 0 spanners in the works. For others, perfection is an abstract quality dwelling in Heaven, as proposed by Plato. His seductive philosophy still traps the unwary, well into its third millennium.
For simpler folk, which is most of us most of the time, perfection is the image of something desired.
