Metaphysical Mutterings
What is the nature of perfection? In this poor relativistic world, there is a saying: perfection has its price. This is more than a mere homily-it is a truism a statement of to establish a perfection implies a totality which, even if achievable in this world, can only come at the exclusion of all else. This is a logical extension of the specialization theory, but has far more reaching consequences. Is it true then, that perhaps we should not attempt to achieve perfection, but merely strive for a wholeness? Once again, a complete integration would lack any specific depth, and would again fail.
I can't help but think this relates frther, some sort of Jungian overmind, in which this truth is already known. Too much of the legends, the tales of a culture involve a wish-granter, a giver of magical abilities, but there is always a severe price for the boon and most often the price for achieving one's most sincere desires, is to lose a part of what defines oneself.
