If people reach perfection they vanish, you know.

If people reach perfection they vanish, you know.

Summary

This quote implies that perfection is an elusive goal that cannot be fully achieved by individuals. It suggests that once someone attains a state of perfection in any aspect of life, they become invisible or cease to exist in some way. This could be interpreted metaphorically, signifying that the pursuit of perfection is futile as it prevents individuals from truly living and engaging with the imperfections and complexities of life. Alternatively, it may imply that perfection is an unattainable concept, and the constant striving for it ultimately leads to an individual's disappearance or loss of identity.

Imagine the peace symbol. The peace symbol has three pieces

Imagine the peace symbol. The peace symbol has three pieces in it. One piece is emotion, that's your body. Another piece has spirit in it, that's your fuel. Another piece has intellect in it and that's your steering wheel. You can never overdo the fuel that goes into the body, which is the emotions and the steering wheel to drive it.
