If so, was it boring?

I have never had a perfect day. And I don't want one. I believe in something much like Karma (albeit not in the original religious sense), and in a balance. Thus if I had a perfect day (nevermind the fact I barely have friends, and those I do have I don't go anywhere with and my favorite weather is the blackness of the night ;) ), I would dread the next, ultimately making my day imperfect again.
And I wouldn't want it any other way.
I don't believe perfection would be boring. I still believe perfection would not be noticed by the people who grow up in it. True, the people in the now, in the imperfection, would know the difference, but their children would not. The perfection would be all they'd grow up with and thus it'd be normal for them. They wouldn't know why the society they thrive in is so great, because they've never expirienced anything other than it.
By the way, don't misinterpret this as a negative thing. We've all come a long way since the stone age and the egyptians. Probably if they heard of the society today back then they would have thought it to be paradise/perfection. As we all know, living in it, it is not. And thanks to our realisation of that, we're still well able to be spoken to and not on a permanent high (ooh! perfect world! look! wow! ooo! aaah! wee!...)! *chuckles* Okay, lame example, but I think you get my point.
