Humanity: the Strive for Perfection

Society has tried to achieve perfection in many ways, almost since the beginning of humanity, and it is almost impossible so many attempts fail and cause severe consequences. In “the perfect match” by Ken Liu, short story and “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut, short story. Perfection is people ignoring what really matter. People have lost their identity, they are not unique anymore because society is limiting with an idea that what is not accepted or normal is not perfect.

When you strive for perfection, failure is inevitable. Some things are unattainable, and a perfect appearance

Society experienced to achieve perfection in many ways, almost since the beginning of humanity, and is almost impossible so many attempts fail and cause severe consequences. In “the perfect match” by Ken Liu, short story and “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut, short story. Perfection is people ignoring what really matter. People are not unique anymore because society is limiting with an idea of what is not accepted or normal is not perfect. Societies’ desire of perfection makes people go desperate and feel alone.

No one is perfect, We may try to be or aspire to be, But it can never be humanly possible. The definition of beauty in the Webster's dictionary states " Pleasing the senses of the mind, Or being very high standard of looks. Often in the world man attempts to perfect mother nature. During most of these occasions this attempt leads to devastating endings, such as in the case of The Birth Mark by Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Like today in the 21st century, being perfect is the most talked about concern in majority of our women today. Being beautiful classifies being prefect. Being perfect classifies

Hawthorne's sentiments are very relevant in today's world where the obsession with perfection often back fires with unfortunate results. To get the perfect house, the perfect car, or even the perfect look we go to extraordinary lengths. Do we ever stop to think if it is all worth it? Just for a little while longer, we think, and then we'll have enough money to get that nose job, or be able to pay for liposuction, or that implant that will remove Nature's imperfection and make life perfect. Just as Aylmer said of his wife, "you came so nearly perfect from the hand of Nature that this slightest possible defect, which we hesitate whether to term a defect or a beauty, shock me, as being visible mark of earthly imperfection," we harp on our imperfection in the same way, blame our parents for not getting us braces at the right time, or contacts when

Human beings are not capable of accomplishing perfection but they are capable of trying to strive for perfection. If that could be possible humans wouldn’t be humans. The human race is full of imperfections. There is no way anyone can reach that level of perfection on this earth. It is foolish to strive for perfection.

It’s all a lie, a societal propaganda which furthers our dehumanization. I’ll let you in on a little secret, there is no such thing as perfection regarding humans, only the beauty in their flaws. Beauty is something that can be described as the entirety of a person, not just their outer

Humanity’s quest for knowledge stays firm as the cornerstone of all its success and domination over this world, Even if the setbacks caused by mistreatment of said knowledge shies some away from such a prospect. Where could this cause suddenly have conceived from? The answer lies in the ambition to do what no one has accomplished, either in spite of upbringing, the will to pronounce uniqueness, or to accomplish something of importance in the hopes it provides advancement for humanity. For example, the book Frankenstein expels all the wrongs that can appear from tinkering with the idea of reanimation of what once died, but now

When I was younger, I thought perfection meant being a perfect 10/10 but really it’s just being a perfect version of you. Not only is this “word” perfection taking away our perception on beauty, It’s also robbing us of our money as we think it’s necessary to cover up our natural beauty with something so fake. We must call ourselves The Barbie’s of the real world. Honestly, make up is just there to make us feel worse about ourselves, because in reality we will never look like what we do with make up on.

In the beginning of the story the parents discovered the children’s nursey had be sculpted by their young children’s mind into the veldt of Africa. The parents were startled at the sights of the ferocious, seemly blood-hungry lions that crawled across the “lands”. One purpose of the nursey was for the children express their minds and then the patterns could be studied later to see if the children needed help with issues. Seeing this nursey, they started questioning why the even got the nursey in the first place. They knew they purchased it so their children would have the best and have everything they ever wanted. They started questioning the whole house, not just the nursey. The parents realize that the house really did take over everything.

Perfection. A word that will never be attainable but so many of young women strive for it. Why? Magazines, instagram, twiter, facebook, snapchat. Today’s media has dominated the way young women see themselves. Young women are constantly comparing themselves to Kendall Jenner, Kim Kardashian, or even their best friend.

Examining perfection could be the place to begin my quest to eliminate shame. Perfection for me has presented itself as a persistent need to properly meet or surpass expectations. There are always expectations that a person must live up to, and they may come from internal or external sources. These expectations can vary between cultures, but they are always present. I have realized that I

If everyone is perfect, then won’t perfect lose its meaning? Or would perfect only be for the wealthy? Scientists are now taking eggs from women and are changing the genes so they can decide what hair color, eye color, and skin color they want their child to have. They may also do it if their genes have a genetic disease like, higher risk of heart attacks or strokes, autism, cancer and much more. But at what risk? Overpopulation, dominating groups, decided futures, preventing the less fortunate or naturally born from progressing and/or unforeseen consequences. We should not design babies because if we do then if will overpopulate and sooner or later if the earth is overpopulated we may have a shortage of food or water. Then what?

Or should the question be: which meaning does it have in our society? Is it even possible to reach perfection, or is it something out of the hands of a human being? It is true that perfection is something everybody strives for, to help them succeed in the things they propose for their lives. Many people aspire to be perfect in different ways, it could be a mother, a student, a teacher or even an artist with that desire of reaching perfection, but do we know the real meaning of this word? According to the dictionary one of its meanings is “a quality, trait, or feature of the highest degree of excellence.” (Dictionary, 2013) Excellence and perfection are far from being the same; which is why many people say it is impossible to be perfect but possible to reach Excellency, because perfection is supposed to exist as an abstraction of our minds, but not to be attainable in the physical world.
