    I’d have to go with incorrect, we are more than a tally of our failures. 
    Seems a good working definition of hypocrisy to impose such a standard on someone else. A grim, self-defeating standard to impose on ourselves.

  • I think what makes us who we are are the combination of the good and bad things we've done in our life.  We all learn through our mistakes. Which is not a reason to paint us as bad for the rest of our lives.  Just as doing one good thing does not make us perfect forever!

    well...
    Agree that we can say
    we are much more
    than what we can see or think?
    Our essence is pure perfection.

    No that would be rather self-defeating.  We can only do our best and no way are we going to be "perfect" as well as we might do.  Why not recognize our imperfections and those of everyone else as well and just accept them?

  • That's modern "outrage culture" in a nutshell.

  • No one is perfect .. and everyone has done "good" and "bad" things.  That's what makes us human .. imperfection.
