Importance of trying to be perfect

In my opinion, it is important to try to be perfect because you will improve yourself and will help to build a better society.
If people start trying to improve themselves, they will start noticing what they are and what they can be instead of what they have and what they want to possess.
You cannot achieve perfection by having somethng, you need to become something.
People will start to see the world from a different perspective, they wil try to absorb knowledge from other cultures and this will make them coexist peacefully.
