Theres a few thing toiling away in my mind about this, if on a true universal level 'reality' was perfect ,as in absolutely flawless then the same principle should run throughout the system, including the Human genome. People would never need braces for their teeth because they will be as they should, not out of place.
When you consider what science and astronomy have discovered and how lucky we are to be here, i mean, we came from a blast of energy, we're surrounded by radiation and a number of potentially life threatening possibilities, our very existence seems accidental, its even told to be, the scientists say we were created by chance from colliding forces. Its the very nature of the universe, conflict. Only before the Big Bang was there no conflict and there was no before thats why there was no conflict, because the was no existence. I believe that maybe universal conflict is the root cause of imperfections because we choose to go against imperfection and seek perfection therefore continuing the cycle of conflict.
The saying "A man who claims to know the Tao does not know the true Tao" I have heard before but lets really consider, its like anything else really. If a man thought of himself to be wise and could not find the answer to 3x5 and proclaimed nobody could know the answer, are we to believe him? Who are they to say such a thing. Because they could not know the Way, the Most Perfect doesn't really mean another person can't. Maybe in 100 years from now when Man's brain will grow to a capacity where it can filter the information better and come to an understanding of perfection Mankind may have the chance of actually knowing perfection, knowing the Truth.
This all goes too deep, I mean we could go into what can we say we truly know, we hardly know ourselves yet, we don't even know the true vastness of existence, who knows what is discovered.
Who knows?
