" BE PERFECT, THEREFORE, AS YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS PERFECT." - MATT. 5:48
"It is only imperfection that complains of what is imperfect. The more perfect we are, the more gentle and quiet we become toward the defect of others." -Francois Fenelon
"Do we all agree that Jesus was perfect; sinless? Then in our attempts at doing what Jesus would do we must keep in mind this perfection. Of course, we fall far short of perfection, and each time we do, it serves as a reminder that we need a Savior.
Similarly, when we read the Apostle Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 13:11, "AIM FOR PERFECTION." we're reminded of our target."

So in other words....
Chase after your own tail
like a dog does, attempting desperately to be
that which you know, and have been told repeatedly you never stand a real chance of becoming.
"PERFECT" is for GODS not HUMAN BEINGS.
Fight a losing battle with what time you have here, and maybe you will receive a pat on the back from a deity in the afterlife for having wasted your time/life. Maybe you will just have a nice BIG ulcer in the pit of your gut like most that try to do and be a photocopy of JESUS.
Or Maybe you will be rewarded by getting to go to a paradise or a heavenly realm, and maybe if/when you arrive you will just be laughed at by all the others that made it there doing as THEY knew was right for themselves NOT trying to do as someone else in VAIN.
Just some points to ponder folks
