The Ideal Self & Then The Actual Self

It would be nice to be perfect, flawless and in complete control of oneself. Or would it? To be perfect would be inhuman, living as a superman or superwoman. Only God is very mostly perfect and only Fate is totally perfect and totally imperfect at the same time. We could become minor deities if we completely develop our potential, but even that exalted status would be far short of being perfect--but it would be glorious failure from our point of view, given our relatively limited abilities. Victory for the earnest individuator is to be rather perfect, or impressively imperfect. That is exemplary, doable and God-sanctioned.
