If you wish to change your environment, change how you think. The universe, in reality and scientifically, is the only thing alive and existing. We are here so that the universe might know itself. Wisdom can only be achieved when the Human walks from imperfection to perfection. Anything that is perfect is ignorant, it doesn't know itself.
Mistakes are perfect, like spilling water or a shot to the head.
These things are perfect. You cannot improve or take away from perfection. By themselves, these things are perfect. By themselves, these things are ignorant. Humans are the imperfect part of the universe.
