Description

Because of Hashem's shleimus (perfection) He created people who are imperfect with the ability to perfect themselves. We long for deep pleasure that comes with rising from a lower lever to a higher level becoming stronger and stronger. The neshama (eternal soul) is G-dly because of its abilty to change. The joy to be able to grow and reach higher levels is greater than perfection itself. The world would be chaser (lacking) if not for our ability to perfect ourselves.
