A few weeks ago I was talking to one of my best friends from college. We both were in the same math program. I was talking about being seen and heard.
"You know that to be seen and heard is to be loved," she said. Suppose that were an equation...
to be seen + to be heard = to be loved
not seen = not loved
not heard = not loved
to be human = not be perfect
not be perfect = to be a failure
to be human = to be a failure
what? that's whack. Or at least deeply unsettling..,
This seems okay...
to be human = not be perfect
not be perfect = to fail
to be human = to fail
Why is the second one more sensible than the first? Noun...
to be human = not be perfect
not be perfect = to be a failure (noun)
to be human = to be a failure (noun)
versus verb...
to be human = not be perfect
not be perfect = to fail (verb)
to be human = to fail (verb)
I think of being a failure as a state of mind, a way of being. To fail, that is something that happens to everyone was we trot through life.
