It could be if someone is leaning on the idea as a way of coping with the world rather than trying to express something that is ultimately inexpressible. As you've reasoned, if there is perfection then there is imperfection, and in the case where someone is stating the perfection of totality absent a conditioned opinion, what they mean by perfection isn't subject to an opposite. It's the same pattern that happens when any one of a number of other words are used to point: peace, love, stillness, silence, joy, spaciousness, etc... Perfection is a pointer that gets lots of folk nauseous. It's not worth spinnin' on if you don't like it, just throw it away! My definition of perfection may be narrower than others. I just don't see perfection in the chaotic unfolding of the universe. But of course I'm not very speerichool and hardly a mystic, though for many long years now I've read the mystical literature from a large variety of expounders. Must be a defect in my cognitive abilities. I just don't get it. "Spontaneity knows it's own order." - Seth It's perfect!

I think that's a rational thought, so I guess I can't help but agree with you there.......plus I don't get it either, but I'm not adverse to playing along sometimes. The other thing I don't understand is how anyone can claim a perspective on the universe that includes all events. No one has ever seen the whole enchilada, so how do they pronounce it's perfection? I've never once heard a trained physicist, someone who actually studies the universe, bloviate about its perfection. The physicist studies only a tiny tiny part of the universe as seen thru the tiny tiny lens of his tiny tiny intellect. Don't ask him to do things he just cannot do.
