The Ideal

So we discussed God's fingerprint, and how it's in everything. I found it humorous that we humans tried to imitate in our own creations as well. We use in in buildings and art alike. God, the Omnipotent creator makes something, we discover it, and then we try to imitate it. That just shows you that humans are always striving to be greater than we were actually created to be. By imitating Him, we can make more perfect creations, all we have to do is use God as a model and inspiration for creation. No matter how hard we try though we will never even come close to the perfection of God's creation. We have come up with ideals though, and these bring us closer to perfection, like the discovery of the Golden ratio, 1:1.618. So by useing this as a standard for our own creations we hope to come closer to perfection.The Greeks used ideals back in the day of Homer, and we humans still use them today, but all we are doing is imitating perfection. All we can do is try, but we will never achieve true perfection, only our own version of it. Just look at the statue of David, and we see how odd that looks, but according to the ideals of Greek art, that is perfection. I don't care where you live though, you will never see a normal human with hands that are the same size of the hands of the statue of David. So we can try to achieve perfection, but that's all we can do,....only try.

P.S.-- I commented on Treya's last post.
