I think the over tone of the question touches on the greater philosophical view that all that has, is and ever will exist already has existed and that we as conscious beings are merely observing the unfolding of reality. We're just alone for the ride in other words. In a sense it means predestination. Everything is already set in motion. It doesn't matter if there is a purpose to it, nor rhyme or reason, it just is. In that sense individual perfection is pointless and immaterial, because it not the single sub-atomic particals that make up a molecule, rather the culmination of all particles, weather infanitely small or vast that create perfection. Under this model, pain and pleasure do not matter. They are merely our interpretation of stimuli as the universe unravels itself, with no function greater than that. In short, we and everything are all perfect, not because we individually are just mgaickally so, but because we are a part of the greater universal structure that is perfection in all its glory.
The flaw in the philosophy is free will. If we truely have free will and we already know that we are as perfect as we're going to be, then why continue? Yet even this very conflict undermines the fact that everything that has happened, is happening and will happen, already has we're just observing it from a single point in time/space. Thus is you say 'hey I'm as a perfect as I'm going to get I'll just lay down and die", then it was already meant to happen. Under this paradigm there is no mundane escape from predistination, at least not one I can think of. "Escape" requires one to totally trancend reality entirely; to become seperate, and yet just as eternal as the universe itself. In that sense one would have achieved individual perfection as they themselves would become essentially as Gods, infanitly small and equally vast. Sadly, even this is still a part of predestination. If you were meant to trancend reality, then you already have and if you haven't yet, then you are just not on the correct point in time/space. Essentially, under this model, there is no free will, everything a person is, was or will be, every thought, every atom they contacted, created or destroyed, has on some level, already occured and hence the universe as a whole is perfect.
