    I think that our very purpose here is try and achieve such a state of perfectability. Through using our gifts given to us and developing our skills can we attain perfectabitility how we do that is another question entirely. However it is my belief that when this is reached we will no longer have a need to come to Earth so the question Is answered Yes but once such a state has been attained Earth will have served its purpose.

    I believe that The Human spirit can not be perfect otherwise we would stop improving and that is the thing that I wish the least.

    Certainly not. With the one exception that God will make human souls in Heaven perfect. Otherwise it's impossible. In fact, looking at history, I can't even say that human nature has gotten any better than it was thousands of years ago, let alone perfect. We're just more subtle with our nastiness than we used to be, which is hardly an improvement.

  • Well of course it is perfectable (in the sense it can be made closer to being perfect), it couldn't get any worse considering the poor starting point. Actually making it perfect is a different matter - I'd say that is impossible because nobody's perfect....

    and I'm a nobody.

    I think when baby's are first born and held. They need to be held with no vibes of resist ants if they have this then they spend there whole life trying to fit in. The human spirit is the resistance to this child, Mom and dad not knowing or feeling comfortable with life..

    Perfection is an ideal and to devote onesself to achievement of an ideal is a noble pursuit. Always act in accordance with what you believe is your ideal self and you will always get closer to perfection. Remember that your ideal can change.

    human totality depends on it,s very circumstance that ensure it,s existence and since no society is perfect, then there is no perfectability of human spirit

    We can be more or less in the direction of perfection.

    No, we will never achieve pefection. But

    Yes, the secret lies in the journey, if not the destination.

    All we take out of this experience is what we have become. So it's better to get better, improve the quality of our character.

    That's why we are here.

    I think the word your looking for is perfection. Anyways I think that anyone who is completely happy is perfect. But I haven't met that person yet.

    I don't believe perfection exists anywhere except as a concept. I do believe that we can all do better.
