Default We are Perfect Being

We are "what is" and "what is" is perfectly what it is. Imperfection is a mistake (a missed-take) that comes from comparing "what is" to the idea of "what should be" and finding "what is" lacking in its form.

Wouldn't the idea of "what should be" be perfect itself then?

It is if I'm holding that idea. It would be part of me (what is), while I'm holding it.

If what is could be made better than it isn't really perfect, it is just as good as it gets.

I suppose you could say that we are not perfect, but we are perfect in BEING

It sounds nice, but it doesn't really apply to the real world.
