"Perfect numbers like perfect men are very rare." Rene Descartes
Confession: I am a number nerd. When I realized that this prompt was for day 6, I immediately thought, "Perfect!" Six is the first "perfect" number. For those less mathematically inclined, that just means that if I take all the numbers that will divide evenly into 6 (1, 2, and 3) and add them together (1+2+3) the result is 6.
Now don't worry. I'm not going to ask you to write about math! Instead, let's explore the idea of "perfect". What does perfect mean to you? Are you a perfectionist? What does your perfect day look like?
