Reply to comment by GlassPanther in We look for perfection in handcrafted items and for imperfections in mass produced goods. by mihvtxx

Fun fact: this "shower thought" came to me while drinking some tea from a mug with a slight imperfection on the edge. It's a mass produced mug but made to look less perfect, like it's handmade.

And then there is the apocryphal tale of Amish women who make otherwise absolutely perfect quilts but which have one single intentional "mistake" made in them. They see perfection as being the domain of God alone so they deliberately make their quilts less than perfect.

This seems like a beautiful story.
