It's insane how often, today, we are told that we are "perfect as we are", that we "should never change" and that "we are beautiful".

No, we are not. No, you are not.

You are a crummy human being with flaws, you're not as smart as you think you are, and you need a crap load of fixing. You're ugly inside, friend.

We should all strive to better ourselves. To be better human beings. To change and improve. And to learn and learn and learn.

Every person thinks they are smarter than their neighbor. That "people" are stupid. But that they aren't.

You understand video games but specialists don't.
You vote for the right party but everyone else is just dumb and stupid.
You know all about being independent and critical thinking but everyone else is a sheep.

Lol. You're a sheep, my friend. Even if you don't know it. Stop thinking you're so much smarter than everybody else, because you are not.

Miyamoto Musashi, a Japanese swordsman who lived in the 17th century, said this,
Think lightly of yourself and think deeply of the world.

Well said. We all need a drop of humility in our lives nowadays.

And yes, this includes myself and this topic does not invalidate everything that I've said nor is it a contradiction.

tl;dr - You are not perfect as you are. You should be better. Learn from others.
