Heh, yes, people tell me this all the time and I understand what they mean. Often, I ask in response, Why is it that you aren't willing to strive to be "better"?
My intent is not to offend or to belitte, it is merely a question of curiosity. Many people seem to be of this train of though, and I don't feel this way, but I'm trying to understand it better. So you'll forgive me if I seem impertinent.
I cannot say that I am even close to Mother Theresa, but I certianly strive to be better. And by "better" I mean that I want not to contribute to the pain in this world, and instead to lessen it.
Anyway, slight digression there. I repeat my question.
