Preparation for hallucination

Perfection is an artificial concept. The notion of flawlessness misinforms the mind and deludes perception.

In music, perfection denotes a harmonious distance between pitches; in language, it is a tense describing something passed. But in reality, the pursuit of precision is a futile tension.

If practice yields perfection then after all this rehearsal, why is everything still exposed as defective?

Camouflage a failing and become convinced it's non-existent or even that it's an asset. A pretence that all is ideal leads to a mask to conceal delusion.

A sham, after all.
