The Grey Scale: Perfection

The Grey Scale

Perfection

Its luster is one that has been sought after for basically ever. Many have spent their entire lives attempting to reach this complexity, many have thought they reached it; others have come to conclusions about life?whether it be too late or not.

What I find as a perplexity about ?perfect? is how it is perceived. How can one truly say that one thing is perfect and something else is not? Would it not be based solely on opinion? Or, has some unknown power or force declared a certain state of existence (e.g.: omnipotence, omniscience, etc.)? Who is to say that perfect really exists? That is what I am going to explore; the metaphysical realm of ?perfection? and its existence, or lack thereof.

First, I will state reasoning for it not existing, as that will make it easier to explore the other portion of this article. (I must say right now that this part may become very speculative and more bases on science than on metaphysics.) If perfect did exist, it would have to be all powerful, and all knowing, and so forth?basically, it would know and be bale to do everything. They would do everything perfect at exactly the right time. This would also then mean that, if they are perfect and all powerful, would they not be able to do it with no time elapsing? Wouldn?t they have to do it with no time passing by, since they are perfect? This would mean that no time would ever pass, but that contradicts a very fundamental property of the university as we know it.

The universe is made of multiple dimensions, one might say length, width, height and time. Time acts together with the other three to cause ?timestacks?, which, when placed in chronological order atop of each other, create the sequence of events that make up our universe. To say that one could complete things without time, or to stop time in anyway, is quite arguable. Basically, this says that perfection is not possible in the universe as we know it?a universe that is composed of time.

On the other hand, though, what if perfection doesn?t mean omni-anything? I described a perfect being as someone who would do the perfect thing at the perfect time, so one could possibly argue with fate, saying that everything we do is consequential to the happenings, and that time only helps this. This could mean that everything is perfect in itself, which, in some people?s eyes, devalue perfection and nullify it, but the principle says that everybody is supposed to be perfect, meaning the world and everything around us is perfect. I am perfect, you are perfect. Imperfection cannot exist in this world.

There could be other variables for a perfect or imperfect?or even a combination of the two?but the two I talked about seemed to be the most intriguing to me. Perfection could exist, it could not exist; the same goes for imperfection. There could even be an intermediate or a state of non-existence for the both of ?em. I will let you decide of their existence.

This is something for the Workshop. It's not an article.

What? I don't really see how it is a creative piece of works, it's moreso some "theories" on perfection; it follows the same premise as my last article, and there was no dispute on that. Please state your reasonings for thinking that it belongs in the workshop and, assuming they are reasonable and outweigh my reasonings, in my opinion, of course, I won't put up any fuss.

[Burter]

You putting up a fuss wouldn't make a difference in where it goes.

An article in this forum should be something that relates to the community. Hell, this might even be better in the Asylum as it's pretty much just discussion and opinions. I think it's stupid to have something that doesn't even relate to CDBZ in this forum.

Yea, and I think those are all horribly misplaced too.

[Hellfighter 17]

I don't doubt that my fuss woudn't decide it, but I migh sill make it. Though, a reasonable manner, of course. =\

If you've noticed, probably only about 60% of the articles in her really pertain to the RPG. Also, I tried to sway away from opinion in it, but it is discussion, I cannot deny that, I still do believe it would constitute as an article. When this forum was made it was explicitly said that an article did not have to be about the RPG, but it would be preferred.

EDIT: Fifty-four percent. =/

EDITEDIT: Or we could just trust that Rei knew what he was doing when he posted this. :o

I, personally, enjoy reading articles other than simple Chubbs stuff. I like to read other people's thoughts on subject matters. This is like a publishing forum for us, where we can showcase our stuff. The Workshop seems to be a place where we can get constructive criticism.

If this Forum began to be overwhelmed with too much stuff, then yes, we'd need to cut it down a little bit. But I don't see how this really hurts.

When this thing started I was told it didn't have to be just cdbz related...

And I think it shouldnt have to be

[Burter]

Way to bring up a dead debate.

o.O

Actually 18 was the first to reply since the old debate, but I had stated when this was created that this could be non-CDBZ related.
