There was a show I recall seeing, many years ago now. In one episode, I’m pretty sure the protagonist had somehow brought about perfection in the world. However, everything went to pot by the end, even though it was this supposedly perfect world.
His son tells him, this main character, that maybe a perfect world is actually an imperfect one, because then everyone willing will try to improve it bit by bit.
And so I wonder, what does a perfect world actually look like? Is it one where we have everything we need? Or everything we want? Or one that we strive to improve upon what already exists?
In Japanese, wabi sabi means perfection in imperfection – to understand the beauty in something because it is flawed, not in spite of it.
There’s no answer to this one, just a curiosity as to what is perfection in this world.
