When per­fec­tion doesn’t exist.

I lis­te­ned to this while wri­ting this post, try it while you read :o)

This post is the thir­teenth in a series of posts about a reflec­tion on our abi­li­ty to social­ly evolve. These posts should be read in the order of their publi­ca­tion. For example, star­ting with the 6th would make no sense to the rea­der. Hap­py reading!

And yes, it’s hard to accept the fact that per­fec­tion doesn’t exist. But isn’t this per­fec­tion sub­jec­tive even in its purest objec­ti­vi­ty? What is cold for one can be hot for ano­ther? Inno­cent? Is it real­ly? Humans have defi­ned their own scales for mea­su­ring nature and have atta­ched labels to them, but since these labels are quite objec­tive in their spe­ci­fic context, they are per­cei­ved in dif­ferent ways in all individuals.

If we assume that natu­ral mea­sures come from human defi­ni­tions, although accu­rate, they are still a conven­tion based on the repea­table and demons­trable. What about the realm of inward­ness? Thoughts, ideas, emo­tions. Mea­su­ring ins­tru­ments for these do not exist, it is impos­sible to have a uni­ver­sal notion of emo­tions and moti­va­tion. The results are still a good mea­sure of what was present at a given time. Our dis­com­fort in not being able to pre­dict things often out­weighs rea­son and we try by more than dubious means to pro­vide ans­wers and expla­na­tions for this discomfort.

When obs­cu­ran­tism over­sha­dows light, it will always be wiser to accept the imper­fec­tion of the situa­tion than to try to fill it up with artifice.

To be continued…
