The world was never meant to be perfect after the first sin of man but there is a perfect world to come that I'm hoping to be a part of, that's Heaven. It's a fact from my knowledge that a perfect world would have no need for growth as every person in it would have all they need to maintain perfection, perfectly in a perfect world.
Our world today is filled with problems in every direction, even the rich who could use money to take care of themselves better have other problems they have to deal with. It feels like a never ending situation but somehow, we live through it on a routine. Indeed, we learn a lot from these problems, my experience teaches so.
It is when we fall sick, we appreciate the good health we had before the sickness. It is when we go hunger, we realize how great it had been when we had to eat. It is when we go broke, we accept that we were better with money. It totally calls for growth as we realize these things and try not to go through them, we can't escape some though.
As humans, perfection is far from us and that goes without saying, imperfect people can't live in a perfect world. They have to keep growing to that perfection that will help them live in the perfect world and that's where growth comes in. Humans have to grow, in every aspect of life. The age is natural already then other kinds of growth.
Our world is not perfect that is why we keep having misunderstandings everywhere. Imagine humans having the ability to read minds to know exactly how to react to a person or situation, I see perfection in that and you don't need any form of growth to know what to do with that. The same goes for who can feel like the next person.
Some will think perfection is achievable in this world but even the Bible says otherwise, striving to be perfect is what God accepts as human perfection. David in the Bible was a man after God's heart, doesn't mean he didn't sin against God but he would always realize how low he thinks, his wrong actions and asks for His mercy.
That has always proved how perfection is impossible but striving to be perfect is achievable. That striving is what I call the growth that we have to teach our children, ourselves and everybody in the world to keep the world from going rogue (only bad and very imperfect people everywhere). But thank to the growing humans.
It would be great if we could have a perfect world here on earth, where growth is unnecessary as everyone will be perfect in their own pace. But then, our reality is to thrive to that perfect world while on earth because it is achievable and it only means, we keep learning from the Bible about that world and doing the required to be part of it.
