Although there seems to be a constant stream of characters with new abilities, I haven't seen a Totally Perfect Person yet. Maybe some qualities are actually beyond believable! Or maybe a graphic designer has created one, but the end result is too boring to develop into a persona who makes it onto our screens. After all, people who never make mistakes are a bit... well... boring.

After all, if we expect kids to have a gr of these principles, surely we can be confident that we know what's right and what's not. But it's rarely that simple; there's always a risk that we might be wrong to think we're right about something. But we should be more worried about thinking that we're wrong, when we're not.

We can't have everything in this world - and we certainly shouldn't expect things to fall into our laps just because we ask for them. But perhaps the point is more about the way that we ask. After all, if you don't ask for things, why would anyone give you anything? Of course, you have to prove yourself worthy. But it's important to be clear, so that other people are able to engage fully and clearly with our goals. On that note ,although we learn, when we're young, not to voice all our thoughts, I am  someone who's prepared to take risks when it comes to sharing ideas; I  don't suppress my feelings or opinions for the sake of polite pretence. I like being with people i  can be honest and open with.

2/4/2022 5:47:47 AM: There are times when we can be our own worst enemy. Which, when you think about it, is a strange thing. There's an implication that we are somehow able to separate from our true selves and be unnecessarily and unfairly self-critical. Life would be so much easier if we always had our own best interests at heart. 

2/2/2022 5:58:58 AM: Have you noticed that when people want to say something offensive, they often start by saying 'no offence, but...'? It's as if they think they make their offensive words more acceptable by saying that they don't want to offend, and that they're therefore immune from the consequences. Sometimes, too, people use humour to disguise meanness. It seems there's a hidden agenda, and it surly adds to being uncertain about the true meaning . An honest conversation always should be held amongst us. Just an observation and found it comical.
