Beyond The Fourth Wall

Perfect. adj. /ˈpərfək(t)/
Apologies to the expectations of the reader, but you won't find it's definition here. Because in all honesty, what even does the word PERFECT truly mean?

Picture yourself as an artist drawing on a piece of paper. Now, let's say you're drawing some characters that you created yourself. You usually use the two basic tools. A pencil and an eraser. Of course, when you notice some mistakes, you erase it using the eraser. Removing some things is important because it helps you improve. You might be thinking while reading this: Why am I saying something so obvious?

Because there is more that meets the eye. Yes, it does help you do better than before, but if you erase everything too much, you'll end up tearing the paper, you see? The more you erase repeatedly, the more friction builds up, and just like that you've ripped out the fragile thin paper.

That's not the only problem. When you finally get a new piece of paper, how sure are you that you are going to redraw each and every character that you just erased?
