If you forgive others of their imperfections God will forgive you....
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. - Matthew 6
So called perfect people tend to be arrogant, therefore God chooses the imperfect....
26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence. - 1 Corinthians 1

Consider why God created us at all rather than why things in this world of men seems so imperfect. God wanted, as I see it, to develop men who having other alternatives, would choose to love Him first above all things. So God gave men those alternatives and lots of rough things to go through.
Do we really love Him or do only love our own comfort and well-being?
If you marry a beautiful healthy young woman, but within a few years she becomes sickly and difficult to look upon because of he health problems, will you stop loving her? Or, better yet, did you really love her or did you love only the beautiful appearance she manifested when you met her? What is love anyway? People talk about beauty being only skin deep. Is love only skin deep?
God knows about these things. He could have created us without sin and beautiful with no ability to sin, subject, that is, to no temptations. He wanted someone who could be tempted and out of love choose Him first anyway!
It is our choice which way we go, with Him or along the short-lived other direction. He allowed us the alternative, but in the long run the alternative, no matter good it may seem or feel in a moment, is not good at all.

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! - Isaiah 14:12
Lucifer - hêylêl, hay-lale'; "Light Bearer" from H1984 (in the sense of brightness); the morning-star:—lucifer.
12 Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more. - Ezekiel 28
