Less than PERFECT!
Thank god we are not perfect! Well, depends on what we consider perfect. Sexual attraction and its forces vary from person to person. Some people think that those who arent attracted to certain people based on their looks are fickle, in other words less than perfect. Again there are people who dont want to sleep with someone else coz they dont have the right personality. Which means that they fail to recognize the beauty within that person, coz everyone is beautiful right? So even they are less than perfect!
So imagine a world where we are all perfect. We are so perfect that every person of the opposite sex (or same depending on preference, lets assume opposite ...) would be able to appreciate both physical and spiritual beauty of each other, making every two people of the opposite sex (with a few exceptions) intensely mentally and sexually attracted to each other. Now would this be a beautiful scenario or a catastrophe? I wonder. We'd definitely be nicer people. Would hopefully hate less people, coz even when someone wrongs us, their beauty might outshine the wronging. But then again, in a world where people struggle to remain faithful to their partners, would being attracted to eveyone just make that concept collapse? or would monogamy not even exist in this case? I dont really know how "Laws of attraction" work in the animal kingdom. enlighten me! I do know that there is a sense of pairing amongst some creatures even after copulating. So, would this perfection make us more of animals? So is being human the art of being "Less than perfect"!
Coz loving only one person and being sexually attracted to one person is professed to be holy. Ref "Oh honey, I love you and dont feel like touching anyone else" -- most couples to one another. But is that an insult to everyone else and a procalamation that everyone else is ugly (or atleast not good enuff). If we were perfect and saw every bit of beauty in each other would exclusive "love" survive or would everyone just be sleeping with and loving each other.
Enuff babbliographical questions ... Will hit this up later. But seems like .. Thank God, we are less than perfect, fickle, choosy, hypocritical, mean, differentiating, racist ...... it makes the world go round and round!
