confucius recommended considering life a struggle toward perfection.
It is true that we shall not be able to reach perfection, but in our struggle toward it we shall strengthen our characters and give stability to our ideas, so that, whilst ever advancing calmly in the same direction, we shall be rendered capable of applying the faculties with which we have been gifted to the best possible account.
-confucius
i wonder what confucius considered perfect even as i know the meaning of perfection is beside the point.
i am happy to walk away from confucius' message with this thought:
try to be the best you you can be. i'll try to be the best me i can be.

this blog is intended to be an online journal. i consider myself a public man and as such, i think it is fitting some part of my views are available to the public. i hope my blog is positive and constructive rather than derisive or political. i may write about politics or sports or my childhood or what it is like to long to be a citizen of the world.
