Everyone's not perfect so don't be insecure about yourself. People just want to see perfect things even though themselves were not perfect. Beautiful fase could fade but not a beautiful heart. You're born to be real not to be perfect.
To me, imperfection means existence in a material body. Inherent in life in a material body are four imperfections - the senses are imperfect, we have a tendency to cheat, we are deluded, and we commit mistakes.
Someone may say - yes, that is true, but there is no way to overcome these imperfections, so why worry about them? Better to focus on imperfections we can do something about, like developing a camera that can take perfect pictures, or a flat-screen with perfect resolution, or even try to develop a perfect vaccine against the corona virus, or something like that.
The thing is, though, that no matter how much we perfect our technology, or our medicine, or even our ability to understand the world, the fact remains that life in a material body is fraught with imperfections, and there is no way around it.
So this is material life - always imperfect. There is an alternative to the imperfection of material existence, however, and that is spiritual existence, the existence of the soul.
