The difficulty here seems to be: aiming toward “the right” perfection.

We are often deceived into pursuing local maximums, as that’s where most of the advice, frameworks, guides, etc. sit. Others might be motivated for us to pursue one locality.

So we perfect that thing, while making the classic “losing the forest for the trees” mistake. E.g. economic flourishing over human flourishing.

We need a broader, multi-dimensional concept of human flourishing that we are constantly pursuing, balancing, and zigging-and-zagging to get to.
