Just as I find it liberating to know that perfection is unattainable.
Part of what I find so disappointing about humans, really, is the fact that so many will be faced with that knowledge - that true perfection, in any form, is something that humans are not meant to have - and fall into despair; they'll stop progressing, they'll give up. They don't understand that the imperfection of humanity is what challenges them, and what ultimately leads them to change the world.
Perfection isn't the goal or some standard to be held to, it's motivation. Achieving it would be to condemn ourselves to that complacency you're arguing against.
