<<Is having starving children in Africa and Asia, bombing in Europe, hundreds of thousands of people in tent cities, etc. perfect?>> Fair question. The assumption being that those examples of lacking sustainance define imperfection. Yet we know that everyone living here in the land of plenty struggles and suffers in their circumstance. So, it would seem that you are saying, if we can identify suffering, then we define imperfection. What do you say to the mother of pixey and dixey who were violently slaughtered by the big bad wolf last month. That is <<WITHOUT man's interference. But is that fair?>> Does something have to be fair and just to be perfect? Is there a micro and macro level? The death of the little mice, pixey and dixey, might seem unfair to momma mouse but if we look at it at a higher level of specie adaptation; we know that the effects of the preying wolf is to strengthen the mouse herd overall. Or, is it a many sided object each having some referent of validity of its own, while only when it is understood as a whole does it make perfect sense? Is man a side to that object that must be understood in the wholeness of the thing?
