the ultimate fact that nothing is finished and everything is fragmentary is the only reason anything is at all. (absolute) wholeness, if it were possible, would be the end of existence. perfection is nothing. imperfections are everything. whether this state of affairs is cause for hope or despair, love or fear, solidarity or xenophobia, is up to us.

much more is possible, many more options are available when working with imperfections (e.g. of-in social relationships) than when chasing perfection.
