Is perfection possible???

If any entity or activity comes under a scope/boundary then perfection is attainable. In case of varied scope and lack of concentration in fulfilling in-scope details its imperfection. Perfection is not always physical fulfillment but its physcial and mental state to be achieved. This kind of perfection can be achieved by fixing a benchmarking and attaining it and also closing the activity. for example believing that sky is blue and iam happy that the color looks great on a sky is great way to make things perfect, so physically the sky is blue but mentally acknowledging that its the right fit is completeing it.

I think we should say Pursuit of Perfection......

I believe that perfection is a realtive thing and that makes my perfection equal to your imperfection which again is perfect.

well...I almost agree with shaju...infact as he says its  very personal , situational aswell....

IRONICALLY my definition FOR 'PERFECT' COULD WELL MATCH WITH YOUR DEFINITION OF 'IMPERFECT'..........

If God is perfect, God-like is what we all strive to be. So trending towards perfection is a honorable goal.

For practical realities of business, perfection is relative (like Shaju states) and it relates to "best-in-class" for the activity chosen. From this perspective, I support perfection.

Possible or not, it's certainly worth striving for.

Perfection, to me, is performing or behaving as expected. When to err is expected out of human naturally, God has made him like that, then, in my view, it is just perfect to make mistakes.

I deliberately want to keep the absolute definition of perfection in shelf....that makes life a lot more easy.

Vivek, I don't know why you asked me this question (when "to err is human" then how can making mistakes be termed as imperfection?) since I am supporting perfection is not possible. However, I will attempt to answer your question. It is expected that human will make mistakes because no one is perfect but that does not mean it is acceptable. The fact remains once you make mistakes you are not perfect.

I still believe that a person can be be  perfect in many ways but not in every aspect of their lives. Therefore no one is perfect.

Dear Swami ji,

How do u know God is perfect!? And if HE is, his creations should also be perfect!? And WE are the creation! 

Cheers!

Why not, agree with Satwinder. If we excels in what we does, put right things at right place; we are happy. It could be the perfection that made us to succeed and be happy.

But Devi, when "to err is human" then how can making mistakes be termed as imperfection? 

Frnds I am little bit confused, Is this thread is for attaining complete perfectionism in all arena or in any single one.

If its for single arena, then yes defintely perfectionism is possible. me you and every person we know can attain perfectionism with perfect practice, smart & restless work, learning from our own faults, behaving proactive and innovative.

But if this thread is for attaining perfectionism in all arena than no one in the entire history and in future also will attain the tag of perfectionist.

As Shri Ajay Ziz Ji said lincoln, charles shobraaj, carlos the jackal, pandit nehru, adolf hitler attain the tag of perfectionist, its true but only in single arena not completely in all arena, they were not good in playing Table tennins, International Business Development bla bla bla....

so attaining perfectionism in one or two arena is possible but not in whole.

Haven't you heard of a perfect score in swimming dive or gymnastics or shooting (10 out of 10) or similar events or some similar activities ... and yes perfection is relative and as per the defined attainments of results and  performance !

And, I am inclined to think and believe that it is possible (possibility thinking !) and we can always strive to attain or achieve that defined performance and feel happy, contended / satisfied and whole within and we need not become neurotic ...

Do we not know that Creation, Existence and Nature is perfect and we are made in the image of our Creator (The Spirit !) and therefore as a possibility, perfection is always possible within the framework of defined performance and parameters and we can always strive to the extent possible and feel complete or total in the now of the performance and living ! and there is no conflict or friction or neurotic ism involved ...

Else, if we don't have possiblility of perfection ... then nobody will / can work to improve on anything and there will be no improvements, but at the same time perfectionism is like Infinity and it may not be generally attainable and yet we must strive for it and go for better and better levels of perfection ...

As every one know one phrase “Nothing is impossible, every thing is possible in this world” Defiantly perfection is possible. Experience makes man perfect. First, some attempt might be its not possible but after some efforts it has happened. alkaji if you asked is every one perfect then my ans. is NO, but YES its Possible...... 

Perfection can’t be measurable in numbers. It is highly psychological and emotional. Perfection definition defers from one to another. The perfect person as per you is not necessarily be perfect to others as well. It’s all about giving your best shot. For me as well it’s relative. Depends on the point of view

I agree with the thing that Perfection is measurable and relative. And it can be achieved by following activities:

- Knowing you are in the right direction
- Doing things which are right and pleases others
- Balance your attitude with your behavioral skills, probably a little acting too!
- Measure each activity to find it's impact on others
- Once you are happy with the things you do all day, you will feel perfection coming to you..
- Positive thinking from the sub-concious mind is another big tool which can be used to achieve something what others call - Perfection!!

I prefer to read few books on positive thinking and power of subconcious mind, etc which will helps in building emotionally perfect!

Cheers!

"being complete of its kind and without defect or blemish" - Definition of Perfect on the web!!

Now isnt that interesting!! Have you ever heard a girl / lady exclaiming,"Its Perfect!"... YES! This phenomenon only happens when a man has rightly gyessed the womans mood and then yaken her shopping, gifted her a necklace of her choice, taken her on a cruise, a champagne evening, flowers sent to her unexpectedly, gifted her a cadbury chocolate... the only remark that you can hear after this is "Its Perfect!"

Perfection is possible only in domains that you know you can master!

perfect people in my dictionary :

lincoln

charles shobraaj

carlos the jackal

pandit nehru

genghis khan

adolf hitler

they are per fect , are enigmatic , are psychotic , neurotic but then they are what they are and we all read and watch them

so personally i feel that either become pandit nehru or charles shobraaj and not  middle man like us who can't be famous and successful like them and have to be content talikng & writing about the perfect people whether +ve and/or -ve

Alka ji,

You know the answer so "perfectly" that no comments are required.
