When I was growing up the aim was to be perfect, just like Jesus.
That meant no negative emotions, which didn't work very well in practice.
Perfect is an interesting idea, and as I grow older I have less and less idea of what it really means.
Maybe it meant nothing really, just like the pictures of the Guardian Angels who were looking after us, and the idea that God gives us no more suffering than we can bear.
Some things are devoid of meaning, do you think?Of course Poet, you were talking about something else.
My mother tried to be perfect and ended up with agitated depression, which I want to avoid.
