Given that I've not (yet) encountered/experienced perfection, I wouldn't know.

Although...I once purchased a peach at a Vermont roadside stand. If it wasn't perfection incarnate, it certainly came close. And, frankly, it was pure pleasure.

Letting go of perfection is one of the things they teach us helps increase self-esteem. I say whatever works.

ArtSparker: I'm sure artists don't go to heaven. Not to say they go to hell either, but they'd be too disruptive in heaven so they must ship them off somewhere else.

Jonas: I say whatever gives you pleasure, be it perfect or not, is a good thing (well, there are exceptions of course but you know what I mean).
