I was watching the TV news a few days ago and I saw an attractive young woman reading the news and I thought “her hair is not perfect whereas anyones' baldness is”.
I didn't know why I thought this – it seemed unfair. So I thought about it some more and I think this is why:
the presence of hair is a manifestation of hair, of some “thing” and all things are imperfect because we tend to compare them to a “perfect” model of them in our minds [even if we don't have a clear idea of what that model is like]. The perfection of some thing in manifestation is an impossible thing to achieve.
On the other hand baldness is not a manifestation of some “thing” at all. In fact, it is just the opposite – it is the non-manifestation of some “thing”, namely hair. Now, perfect non-manifestation is possible.
For example, in the room where I am typing this there is an “imperfect” TV – it could always be better in some way – smaller or bigger or brighter etc-- imperfect manifestation. In the same room there is the perfect non-manifestation of an elephant. It is so perfectly not here – it couldn't be more “not here” -- perfect non-manifestation.
So along these lines I make the statement that a haired head is always imperfect [in it's hairiness] whereas a bald head is perfection indeed [in it's baldness].
Anyone else have thoughts along these lines? Am I wrong?

Gary , I agree with you nothing is perfect. We all have imperfections . And we our , our own worst enemy. Very few other people even notice what we are so concensious about. That is why nothing bothers me anymore. Why worry about things that we can not change , but try to change the things we can. ;)

Kidding bro. Well said, and I do agree.
