Life never gives us what we want when we want it, it gives us what we need when we need it most.
If we got everything we wanted when we wanted it, we would get bored very quickly. This is why things are never perfect, because perfection is boring. Humans are built for challenges. That's why there isn't a perfect game. Cause developers would be out of the job,
Why there isn't a perfect marriage because they would get board with no obstacles to overcome. That's impossible there are always obstacles because life isn't about what obstacles you overcome, it's HOW you overcome them. Perfection is unknowable because we always see room for improvement. Perfection is also right in front of us when we see a (for example) a relationship with more ups than downs. The downs need to be there to make the ups stand out. Perfection is having the perfect outlook on life which is realizing perfection is impossible, boring and against human nature. Something perfect would be the end of the world because there would be no need for improvement and there for no reason to live. The reason to live is to improve and perfect which is why life is infinite because you can never ever perfect anything.
Perfection is knowing there is no perfection and accepting this not only as reality but also as a challenge. This gives motivation and a reason to live.
