Perfection?
Nature is so perfect in its imperfection (variation I mean) . No two leaves are same. Yet trees are perfect creations
No two clouds are same but every sec the sky is perfect in its own way
Human creations are so perfect in their repetition . So boring in their perfection .
Nature is so alive in its imperfection just as manmade objects are so dead in their sameness
Sometimes it requires the decay of Nature to make an object more alive and living

There are objects on which humans force repetitive perfection on Nature . Predictability of shape and color. Then they become owners of that creation
Like valentine roses . Buyers have specification in terms of how much it should have opened and how many leaves should be there , length of stem etc . All other stems are rejected.

Why is predictive , repetitive patterns so important to human psyche
Why is variation and perfection in imperfection so important to Nature . Is there a track record that the species with minimum variation actually became extinct ?

Interesting thoughts Raj, I love the the way you have contrasted the pattern created by humans and patterns created by nature. This reminds me of the similar discussion/comment we had on this image below -

Why is predictive , repetitive patterns so important to human psyche


I am not sure whether it is important to us humans or is it the cap on our inherent ability ? I have a feeling this is when it goes beyond humans' ability.
