All human defects are just qualities waiting for its purpose to be discovered, so it is common place for those who want to develop their traits. And yet there is a need for people to seek that perfection. In order to evolve there is an endless cycle of making mistakes, learning from them and trying better the next time.

In theory there is no such thing as perfection, only perfectionism. Because in reality we live in an open system, where complexity is achieved by its fractal manner.

As a system grows it accumulates knowledge, not memory per say, but information with a twist of consciousness. As soon as it doubles its size as a beginner, it’s possible to notice its true nature. It will not stop seeking for more.

That’s not all of it by far, we are just scratching the surface around the purpose of life.

We have to understand this fractionality base for complex systems. In principle it is even wrong to call it complex at all. It is as a gigantic kaleidoscope, just a few little rocks and a bunch of mirrors. And we control the mirrors. Our consciousness really.

It seems that even the number of mirrors is a program of the system, but they are metaphorically speaking, an acquired knowledge by itself.

Have you ever seen a mirror within a mirror? Now imagine the reflective surface of a bubble. Got it? Ok… Now imagine a great number of these bubbles sticking together and reflecting the reflections of each other… that is closer to the idea. Not a flat surface but a more flexible and distorted one, better yet, a more adaptative one.

That fluid adaptation is needed as the pieces interact with each other. That is when the complexity seams to emerge. All fractal pieces of the main bubble, as you may, get knowledge from exchanged interactions as it grows with its own interactions within.

So, perfection is just another conceptualization of reflected information transmitted into knowledgeable actions or interactions.

But it is the need to be perfect that keeps people from leaving those who are in control of them, as they are being influenced, moved and motivated. That’s why we call it the “vicious cycle”. And those who are in control have to continue to exercise powerful actions to maintain that cycle.

They do it with a sense of loyalty, because being loved or even approved of by people is more important than their own individual wants.

That is actually a survival mechanism to maintain whatever knowledge has been acquired throughout existence. And so, keeping the safe though of existing whatsoever.

It seems so, because there is an identification with the reflection of things that are not, instead of what truly is.

Everyone has the feeling of wanting to match things, to feel that their role in the process of life is a benefit, and that life makes sense. That is what keeps one in line and one in power. It’s because of that mentality that all must keep those who they are. That includes all judgment of those in disagreement.

There is a fear that those who have power are the most capable, so they have nothing to fear. And thus, one must act upon the beliefs for keeping power as for seeking it.

As power and control are another concept acquired by the system. We can suppose that perfection is a tool for domination, as it is a tool for mastery.

One can master itself once one becomes true with one’s own purpose. And by doing so achieves enlightenment. What that means is that one can pop all bubbles and unnecessary distracting complexity, that leaves that heavy feeling when living our lives.
