'Disgust at negativity'!!!!!!???Thats not how i read Barrys criticism. it was NOT a denail of a "flaw" in human nature, it was disgust at the negativity surrounding the obsession with perfection. I think its quite negative of anyone to think of basic human nature as a flaw and to focus on something we cannot attain. Do you really think thats a healthy attitude to have ?
'Obsession with perfection'!!!???
The facts are not 'negativity' they are what they are.. accept that.
'Focus on something we cannot attain' !!!???
Who says that, one battle at a time, we cannot 'attain' betterment? even if only over that one flaw, or better still one flaw at a time, we can acheive that.
If we cannot then why do we try to rehabiltate, drug addicts, peodophiles,
alcoholics, etc etc.
Again, repeat, this is not negativity, it is dealing with humanity as we find it
and knowing that it can be worked with.
So, yes, this IS a healthy attitude to have.
Who is obsessed with perfection? Some people wish to become great dancers,
some people will really strive to achieve their goal, term it as an obsession if you like, but if people are obsessed with becoming better at whatever....dancers/people/husbands/fathers/persons etc . then more power to 'em and may the whole world be so obsessed trying to attain betterment!
