In its pathological form, perfectionism can be damaging. It can take the form of [[procrastination]] when used to postpone tasks and self-deprecation when used to excuse poor [[performance]] or to seek [[sympathy]] and affirmation from other people. In general, maladaptive perfectionists feel constant [[pressure]] to meet their high [[standards]], which creates [[cognitive]] [[dissonance]] when one cannot meet their own [[expectations]]. Perfectionism has been associated with numerous other psychological and physiological complications as well. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfectionism_%28psychology%29]

==Quote==
Divinity may be perfect—complete—as on existential and [[creator]] levels of Paradise perfection; it may be imperfect, as on experiential and [[creature]] levels of [[time-space]] [[evolution]]; or it may be [[relative]], neither perfect nor imperfect, as on certain [[Havona]] levels of existential-experiential [[relationships]].
When we attempt to conceive of [[perfection]] in all phases and forms of [[relativity]], we encounter seven conceivable types:
:1. [[Absolute]] [[perfection]] in all aspects.
:2. Absolute perfection in some [[phases]] and [[relative]] perfection in all other aspects.
:3. Absolute, relative, and imperfect aspects in varied association.
:4. Absolute perfection in some respects, imperfection in all others.
:5. Absolute perfection in no direction, relative perfection in all other [[manifestations]].
:6. Absolute perfection in no phase, relative in some, imperfect in others.
:7. Absolute perfection in no attribute, imperfection in all.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=0:1_Deity_and_Divinity]
