–noun

3.a perfect embodiment or example of something.

5.the highest or most nearly perfect degree of a quality or trait.
6.the act or fact of perfecting. Perfection, something we usually strive to achieve. Some seem to reach it, while others fall short. And yet there are also those whom choose to avoid perfection altogether. What is there in perfection that attracts some, and yet repulses others? Isn't the dream of a perfect world the dream of everyone? Do we not wish to live in a Utopia where no harm is done unto others, no dangers , and no suffering?
In order to achieve perfection, we learn to live by rules. Rules that drive us not to commit those crimes. Rules that try to warn us off dangers that occur. Rules that try to end our suffering. However, these rules can't completely eliminate the wrong doings, and sufferings that occur. There are also always ways of going around these rules. Does that not make these rules imperfect? Then why are we depending on rules to achieve perfection on their own are already imperfect?
Then again, this is what humanity is about. About making the best out of situations. The differences between each other make us see the imperfection that we have and then try to better ourselves. We will eventually try to achieve that certain level of perfection. And the fact that we still continuously try to obtain perfection proves that we are also imperfect. However, although we cannot be that perfect diamond, it is this imperfection that make us human beings seem ever more beautiful.
