We were always taught that in the new world mankind would reach perfection (clean thoughts, ultimate health, perfect food). My thing is that there is no such thing as perfection. Life wasn't perfect, even at the beginning. If so, you wouldn't have had Satan entertaining thoughts to usurp God's Sovreignty, you wouldn't have had MAJOR rebellion in heaven, etc, etc. Everything is always explained away with the FREE MORAL AGENT ANALOGY, but one constant about life is that NOTHING'S PERFECT...

perfection will be when you pluck the pear off the tree and its taste and texture is entirely the fullfillment of your exact want. In that perfect place, you will not crave for McDonalds and will smile at the thought that you ever were addicted to it or thought it pleasant at all. In that place you will not desire to listen to the rapp music of "TT Hubba hubba J Doggy" and you will not even be able to specifically recall what it sounded like, nor will you have the inclination to remember. Sweet smells will fill your nostrils constantly, and the wafting of flowers in the breeze will please your eye every moment of the day.

If perfection exists it is subjective and transient.

That sounds like hell. No challenges, no excitements, no obstacles to overcome. Nothing's an acheivement because you just reach out your hand and you have everything you want. Not for me thanks.
