Perfection: is it a simple thing to understand?

Maybe RandyD could explain grammar.  What are other things where perfection can be achieved?

    Perfect beauty, perhaps?

    She's missing an eyelash on the right side.  The 20th from the left.   Not perfect.

    I am studying the art of Zen right now. 

    According to most Zen Masters, my answer to you should be on the order of:  Oh... is that so?  And let it be.

    Grammar is one of the places where 'perfection' is utterly impossible. every national language you can name is steeped in historical rules that all too often do not fit with the grammar rules (witch were typically added later). In addition languages constantly change gaining new words and new structures that are introduced by usage rather than by any rational language-creating body. Currently you can "Tweet a Tweet about how to tweet" and if people believe you and follow your directions then those directions will eventually become the official Tweet-rules. Chaos is guaranteed.

    (every Every)
    (witch which)
    (Comma after the words 'addition' and 'change' and 'Currently'.)

    That is on reason that grammar correctors can find a livelihood. Language grammars have redundancy enough to give people a chance to find errors. You correctly guessed that my use of the word witch did not refer to the kind that ride broomsticks This post was edited by JakobA the unAmerican. at December 8, 2017 5:35 AM MST

    Since I am the perfect editor, I can tell you Randy D~ is NOT the perfect grammarian.

    If you could trick a human brain into thinking the persons hand is holding something solid when it is not: that would be perfection for me right now.  It would be like a non visual hologram.  Instead of seeing it with your eyes you experience it with your brain through touch.        I think I'm almost done with this one.  Now on to something else.

    Try meditation.  It is easily learned, the thing you are wondering about.

    It is just learning how to focus.


    Our mind can do almost anything you ask.
