Default Perfection, Perfect Being?

Okay this is a very advanced form of thinking and alot of people may not understand this, but here goes.

Humans are imperfect, so we can only imagine what a perfect human is: "a complete human in every way". Or, one incapable of being doing wrong.

However, is a perfect being possible? If one is incapable of doing wrong, "incapable" is a way of saying something lacking. So a perfect being would have nothing lacking, so therefore could only have the awareness of the possibility to do wrong, but always did right. However, if they had the oppertunity to do bad, that in itself is a defect, because one that is perfect would not know how to do wrong.

So how can perfection or a perfect being exist if you can't compare it to anything? After all, perfect is just a comparison to what isn't. So you'd have to know what is a flaw of perfection to be perfect, and not do it. But if you don't know, then how can you be perfect?
Therein lies the paradox.

Thoughts?
