Perfection Obsession

The concept of perfection is something many of us struggle with. The perfect complexion, the perfect relationship, the perfect life. And yet, we know so little about perfection. What is it like to be perfect? Who defines perfection? Is it attainable? We understand the concept but we don’t really know what it is. 

Neil Degrassi Tyson argues against “intelligent design.” He believes that intelligent, or dare I say perfect, design doesn’t exist because even our anatomical design is flawed: “There's like a sewage system and entertainment complex intermingling.” And yet, our mere existence in this world relies on billions of nanobacteria working correctly, consistently. Sounds like perfection?

When I think of perfect design, I think about architecture. I visited a new, glitzy coworking space the other day and couldn’t but start questioning its design when, after trying to open a door, the door handle ended up in my hand. Perfect design should mean that no screw in the whole construction would ever come unscrewed.

Woolworth building

A couple of weeks back, I also had the chance to visit the Woolworth Building in downtown Manhattan. Built in 1910, this building was the tallest skyscraper in the world for almost 20 years, until the Empire State came along. The building had a pioneering steel structure, as well as first-of-its-kind finishings, like a terracotta tile facade and a cathedral-looking lobby with gilded ceilings and mosaics. Not only was the structure innovative due to its lavish design, it was also used as a benchmark for the city’s building code after its completion. The building was not perfect, but it was a trailblazer. 

When I think of perfect design, I also think about “perfect” babies. The common notion is that a perfect baby has all ten fingers and ten toes. I think about the uncertainty that soon-to-be-parents experience of whether their child will have any health conditions that can stop or limit them from leading a “normal”, “perfect” life. Yet in the end, we know that even this will not guarantee a “perfect” life for the newborn baby as they will go on to face many other challenges.

To me this highlights the biggest frustration with perfection: the sad realization that it is not attainable. So when we think about perfect skin, perfect toes or perfect babies, remember that perfection might just be a concept and its up to you to define it.

    When I first dipped my toes into forex trading, it felt like venturing into unknown waters, yet equipped with a solid strategy and continuous learning, I was able to amass over $100,000 in profits. Buoyed by this success and intrigued by the burgeoning world of cryptocurrencies, I decided to shift my focus and invest $100,000 in Bitcoin. This move proved fortuitous as my portfolio grew to over $550,000 over the next two years thanks to diligent trading and a favorable market. My crypto trading journey, however, took an unexpected turn during a peaceful holiday at my grandparent’s lake house. The getaway was meant to be a break from the high-stakes world of trading, but fate had other plans. One afternoon, while fishing on the lake, a sudden yank from my granddad as he reeled in a big catch caused our boat to shake violently. In the chaos, my phone slipped from my grasp and disappeared into the water below. That phone contained everything – from my trading apps to the crucial recovery phase for my crypto wallet. Panic set in immediately. Losing a phone is one thing; losing access to a significant crypto investment is quite another. The sinking feeling was about more than just the physical device—it was about potentially losing years of hard work and investment. Back on shore, desperation led me to scour the internet for solutions, and that’s when I discovered the Cyber Constable Intelligence Tool. This service claimed they could assist in recovering digital assets even without the physical device, provided some necessary credentials and proof of ownership were available. Skeptical yet hopeful, I contacted them immediately after purchasing a new device. The next two days were a whirlwind of providing proof, verifying my identity, and following their secure process. The team at Cyber Constable Intelligence was professional and reassuring throughout, understanding the gravity of the situation. Miraculously, within 48 hours, I had regained access to my crypto wallet. The relief was overwhelming. I was back in control of my assets, thanks to the effective recovery service provided by Cyber Constable Intelligence. This experience was a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities inherent in digital trading and the importance of physical and digital security. It also underscored the value of reputable recovery services in the digital age. Moving forward, I’ve taken additional measures to secure my investments and ensure that backup systems are in place. The lake house incident, while stressful, taught me invaluable lessons about preparedness and the resilience required in the world of cryptocurrency trading.
