Of course..there is no motivation to judge and compare people. The tone of the article (and the discussion in the comments) makes it clear that it is our responsibility to live to our full potential - leading to some "extra capacity" that we can use to make this world a wee better place.
It may be too much to ask, may be. But I am hopeful and will continue to ask :)
- jister 17y ago>> it is our responsibility to live to our full potential - leading to some "extra capacity" Exactly my point. Living life to their full potential depends on every person. It might be that the "extra capacity" other people do doesn't involve technology or something big. It might be spending time with their family...who knows?
- rajesh301 17y agoYes, that choice is always there. One can always say that it is best to simply make "their world" better. No one can force other person to "contribute." It is voluntary but the point of the article is to trigger some thinking so that a few people who are on the fence on this topic will jump to the right side of the fence.
- jister 17y agoYes I do understand your point. I guess what I am trying to say is: you don't have the right to call other people lives "Mediocre".
- rajesh301 17y agoOn your last comment - copy that jister. Yes, nobody has the right call anyone anything actually. My apologies if I hurt anyone's feeling. There is no need to take anything personally :)
- jister 17y agoNo problem and nothing personal. I just don't like the tone of the first line but hey, that is just me. :)
