Perfect

"Perfect" may not exist, but don't tell me it doesn't exist because it would be too boring or anything, because.. if perfect is too boring, it isn't perfect at all!!!!!

This should give us a bit an insight in how tiny we are! And I must admit that I, personally, sometimes experience difficulties to even imagine how small we are compared to the vastness of our own earth! On another aspect, it shouldn't be too difficult to imagine that if there should be a God or if there should be other life far more evolved than us, it could be possible that our intelligence towards God or towards superintelligent aliens has the same ratio as an amoeba* has towards us, or even far worse. * one of the smallest life
