What exactly is a perfect 10? Yes, there was the movie 10 that suggested the character played by Bo Derek was perfect. Yet perfect is an arbitrary concept and one rarely attained. For any binary idea, we may score the perfect 10, yet what of our assessment of subjective matters?
Perfection today will reveal some flaws tomorrow. Consider your relationships or the products you regularly consume. The perfect friend may show supposed kinks in character that cause you to cast a discerning eye. Remember that fantastic new smartphone you last purchased – what of it today?
Maybe we should instead imagine perfection as something we experience for a moment. For example, the meal was perfect, and the work performed was excellent, yet accept that it’s not human to expect the exact standard each time since either people will make mistakes or err in judgment, or what we regard as perfect today will probably be substandard in the future.
Enjoy the moment it was a perfect 10, and if it is a person dear to you, they likely always will be. It is you who changes the scoring system.
