The myth of perfection is so pervasive - and.. I blame Plato.
   I don't believe in a platonic realm; I mean, it sort of exists
   but I believe it's mostly an illusion because of how our brains
   interpret reality and our visual systems construct imaginary
   lines around objects, come up with perspective, etc.

   it seems that nothing is 2 dimensional in reality, yet we draw
   lines on paper and can visualize something as being real. Then
   comes the process of trying to force reality to fit the lines.

   But reality is reality. It's not 2 dimensional. It doesn't fit
   on paper. Lines aren't even 2 dimensional. They're bumpy.
