   I can see how I am.   
   I can see how I am not.   
      
   From the pov of cause-effect,   
   everything was involved in me being me   
   and me doing everything I do.   
      
   How could that not be perfect?   
   It could be no other way.   
      
   From the pov of making any, "mistakes"   
   and those mistakes being the criteria   
   for my not being perfect, by that standard,   
   I am a very far cry from being perfect.

   Yes. Very true.   
      
   Among my views are many views.   
   Perfections are among them.   
      
   At times I'm a perfectionist.   
      
   At such times, sometimes I drive   
   myself crazy trying to reach perfection   
   only to find it's an impossible task.   
      
   In reality, I'm more of a functionalist.   
   If something works, that's good enuf.
