If I had one goal in life, it would to wake others up to find their own inner direction and clean their own mental/emotional houses in their own way. We have to be whole and healed individuals before we can heal the world. No one else can heal us, they can help us, but it is not something that can be impressed externally. No lasting change can come from external pressures but only through individuals, one by one. This is a hard truth to accept because it can seem so hopeless but it is the only way as far I can see it.
Yes and no.
No one person can ever be fully whole and healed, and still be a functional living human.
You will always have some type of inner struggle or dynamic.
In biochemistry, when a cells delta-G has reached zero, it is at full equilibrium and has no more potential. This cell is now dead. That is how the circle of life works.
You must have some sort of inner struggle or inner dynamic that you are working with or else you would be perfect. Once you are perfect then you seize to be in the realm of mere mortal.
We must accept the fact that we will never be perfect, but since we were created as social animals, we can work together to help each other achieve the higher levels in life. That is what I meant by saying that I wish to first work on myself to the best of my ability, and then try to help my family and friends work on themselves in hopes of reaching a greater humanity as a whole, in the same way that the atoms in an atomic reactor help to activate each other to change.
So, we agree, on that we need to come together as a whole, but I disagree with the fact that one must be perfect before they can influence others.
