That's only to say we try to be better. But no one can ever say they are perfect.
I agree from your perspective that when high universal standards are set, most will fall short of meeting them. I agree from your perspective that comparing human behaviour to an idealistic view of how it should be would appear imperfect.

However, if you are imperfect how can I trust your perspective? You make these statements as if they were facts but isn't it true that your view is simply your judgment?

Imperfection is just a 'state of mind' as is perfection.

Neither takes into consideration what it means to be human. Neither contain understanding or empathy. Neither of them are natural human states of being and both unattainable. They are merely concepts.
