Are we as individuals limited by our societies perception of perfection??

Question

We strive to be beautiful, we live for peace, and reach for the stars… We all know that being as “perfect” as Jesus by all means is not HUMANLY possible. All of the statements above can be said to be societies goals because they set a “standard” of how life should be…in other words it's the mass perception of perfection. These things can be viewed in two different lights. One of which you as an individual succeed by reaching these goals and the other by falling short. We all know that societies goals are unreachable and inevitably we all fail them in every category. We must learn that we can only dream our own dreams and reach our own goals. When this is realized therein lies our personal perfection.

We were built by god…by god we ARE perfect.......Are you perfect?

Answer 1

We are only limited by how far we let ourselves be. To most people society and magazines is the all mighty limit.

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

We are perfect in our own ways but through the eyes of society we are not because lets be honest society ike what you says wants something religously perfect and or someone who is to them beautiful, but in my honest opinion I think society's perception of perfect isn't justifiable to the level it wants for us human beings to achieve because lets be honest we human beings want to choose what we want to accomplish and there is a portion of society that doesn't agree with it so therefore we cannot be perfect in the perception of society.

But in our own ways being self perfect by achieving our goals in life it seems to be more of the better way to pervcieve perfection since we as people are born differently and this kind of pefection is like the most beautiful of art which is the abstract and society wants perfect to be like a photo of what to them seems beautiful but in truth is just a plain copy which is not original.

Answer 4

Perfection is unattainable,we can only strive to be perfect.

Answer 5

Everyone is perfect really, in their own ways. But not in societies eyes.
