Where do you go from perfect?
Perfection². Perfection X 2? Heckifino. lol
Robbed of curiosity? No adventures left. No surprises just boring old perfection day after day after day after day after day I think an eternity of perfection would be hell.
How do you know it would be boring and there'd be no adventures and whatever else you said?
I don't think I'm qualified to opine about perfection afteral.:lol:
I disagree. Anyone can have any opinion they want. It's just that without actually having been perfect at some point, it is rather funny to tell people what perfection consists of.

Maybe we have genetic memory of the perfect state. We spend a lot of time trying to get back there.

Maybes don't count. lol Either you are perfect, have been perfect and remember it (in which case, if I were perfect, I would die from laughing), or else you aren't and never have been.
Doesn't perfection imply that one would never die, too?
Kids are an awesome event, too. :)

"This is the gift thread not the curse thread." As John Lennon said, Sir Walter Raleigh was such a stupid git. poisoned billions and condemned them to slow horrible deaths. Now if you want to talk Turkey, hashish. Now that is a gift.

I dont think making yourself suffer than enjoying an incredible relief can be defined as a ''curse''.(U're right how did i forget the pure pleasure that is hashish:lol:)

Again I have to believe we have "tastes" of perfection in our lives - also "love" as we define it toward other living creatures, mankind in general and our environment....

But neither perfection nor love is a lasting empowerment whether we wish to ignore the fact or argue I am wrong (nothing new) - but I believe our "seeking" perfection and love as we believe it to be is our prime motivator in our lives
because again as Beaver brought up a good point - if we "attain" these things, we would cease to be seekers wishing to find even more.

Cash, debt and leverage. No other life form can package securities like humans.
