What Is An Ideal Person
Dear [Mentat],
A person need not be ideal, so long as they’re good enough, which is, I suppose, an ideal itself, though not as restrictive as seeking the best possible mate. Likewise, as you suggest, there are degrees of self-actualization [referring here to Maslow's hierarchy of needs triangle], the highest of which are unattainable by virtually everyone. But reaching the absolute highest level of it is not as important as reaching some level of it, that fulfills us most of the time. The same is true of women.
