There are methodologies to help us discern things more objectively and independently from subjective 'experience', but all in all, perfection is a concept that does not exist objectively.

Perfection seemed to fit when I was thinking about it, but I agree, it's too confusing to use for that. I wasn't thinking of it as a concept as well. I lose at grammar. But when you don't impose restrictions on the way you see things, you can enjoy them much more. Yes, some restrictions are necessary, but when you're just perceiving things, that's not the time for them.

Edit: Wow, when people take religion to that extreme, it's scary. They're totally trying to live in a fantasy world.
