Every Paradise is Spoiled. Utopia, Imperfection, and the Human Condition

Thoughts after watching the German Netflix series DARK:  
Jedes Paradies ist verdorben. Jede Utopie ist verkommen, denn das Größte der menschliche Schöpfung u. Kreativität erfordert Imperfektion, Fehler, u. Zufall.

Das was uns meist verbindet ist dieses Nexus von Kreativität und Imperfektion.

Humans cannot exist in an ideal state such as utopia, paradise, or nation of complete peace, beauty, or freedom from injustice or affliction.  Just like a vacuum, perfection is not afforded by the nature of living things, our biology or our thoughts. 
 It’s best that we love and embrace the creative friction of our reality, rather than resisting and shaming our flawed nature.  
We can only truly gain any control over our flaws when we stop loathing them, and when we are informed by them.
