'The perfect life? Hmmmm? There is no perfection in this world. It's a cliche expression, but its the truth; thus ordinary people yearn for 'perfection' and seek it out. But what meaning is there in perfection? None. I abhor perfection.
If something is perfect, then there is nothing better than it, there is no room for creation within it, it means there is no opening for talent or wisdom to enter into it. Do you understand? For us scientists, perfection is despair. Something can be more wonderful than anything that has existed thus far, but it can never be perfect. A scientist is an organism that must continually suffer under this contradiction and even find pleasure in it. In other words, you had already lost to me, the instant you uttered that crazy word, "Perfection". This is of course, assuming that you were a scientist in the first place.' - Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Captain of the 12th Shinigami Division & Head of the Shinigami Research Institute
Mayuri Kurotsuchi is one of the most perverse and creepy characters in Bleach, given the fact that he is the embodiment of what it is to be a mad scientist. He is despicable, he is immoral, he is downright crazy. But behind the madness, there lies a superior intellect and an amazingly perceptive mind. This speech of his was given in the latest manga chapter of Bleach, chapter 306 entitled 'Not Perfect is GOoD', and after reading it, I felt compiled to agree with what he says. And it applies to anyone who calls himself/herself a follower of science. We really simply can assume that we know everything that the world has to offer.
I humble myself to the all encompassing power of Science.Labels: anime, fanboy, soul |
