Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without. ~Confucius
I remember a day during my college when I was walking aside my campus along with one of my friend when a bus passed by with some students travelling in the footsteps and jumping from it to alight near the college. I commented to my friend
"Why these guys are travelling in footsteps like a hell. Aren't we taught by the society and the government not to travel in footsteps"
My friend replied "It is their age buddy. They want to fill their life with thrills. You cannot say anything to them until you don't practice it"
True were his words and I replied to him "You are right We cannot comment on anything unless or otherwise we are correct in that aspect." I have that as a policy in my life ie., If I am not clear in anything I won't condemn others.
Now recently during my lecturer days I used to teach some morals to the students. Lastly I got accused that I don't have any rights to talk such things. Another fine confrontation is my students liked more of technical teachings rather from the moral aspects teaching.
A clear question was "Who Am I to teach moral aspects? Am I so perfect?" No not really. But usually I have one belief in current days. A person's morality in today's world is not calculated on the basis of whether he is absolutely correct or wrong. But it is based on the percentage level of correctness he have with him. That is what one of the sayings from the China's precious philosopher Confucius informs us.
A diamond may have imperfections but still it have the quality of a diamond but not like the vague round pebble without any grips on it. I may have flaws in my life I might have made errors. No human is perfect. But before pointing that I am wrong once again one have to go through the first two paragraphs.
When the above question points back to me I will easily answer I won't impose my imperfections to you. I am not God and I make blunders too and also learns from it but in the probability and percentage levels of perfections I boldly say with confidence whatever I imposed or taught or teach to people comes out of what I really learnt and do or practice in my daily life. I always try to find practical solutions out of it. It is my step to increase the level of morals on people and I really know
There are no 100 % Perfectionist but above 60% is always a distinction, Isn't it?
