One of the things that would never come to pass in reality is the idea of perfection. I heard someone talking about one of the things that shook him to his core, and he said it was when he was in an interview alongside one of his competitors. According to him, he was very proud because his company was achieving their goals and surpassing their competitor in sales. His competitor was asked what advantage do they think they have over him and the competitor said "Enough”. According to him, before then his goal was to perfectly remove his competitor from the market, but then he realized he was the only one in the competition and the person he was competing with was content so long they had enough. This made me understand that it is one thing to not have enough, and it is another to feel you don’t have or are not enough. This is the major reason why a lot of people break their backs and when they come to see that they can not achieve their definition of perfection, they become disappointed.

But what if the perfect world actually came through? If this should ever happen, I would know that we are no longer living in this earth’s dimension where the sun rises from the east and sets in the west. For everyone in the world to attain perfection, the sun needs to rise from the North and set in the East because everyone has a different definition of perfection. For the world to truly be perfect, it means over 8 billion people in the universe will be experiencing their own version of perfection and this would be running concurrently. This means those whose version of perfection is for time to slow down will have it their way, and at the same time, those whose version of perfection is to make time too fast would have it their way. This means that terrorists will have their own version of perfection (Chaos) and Ordinary citizens will have their own different version too.
So yeah, the impossibility in this is just so renowned. This is why I can not talk for everyone, and since I can only talk for myself, I know for sure that I would become lazy. My idea of perfection is to have a good life (My idea of a good life) and I believe it is so for everyone. What else would you want when you have peace? What else would you want when there is nothing to want? This is when we will all be at our most vulnerable, for some, it will first be too good to be through and they will be uncomfortable with perfection (okay that’s me). And for others, it will be prayer answered. Either way we will all realize that a little trouble, a little heartbreak, and little lessons would be what we all crave because we will begin to want that. The idea of want is that we do not have and we only want what we don’t have.
