Moral Perfection: Personal View
Generally speaking I am con in believing it is possible for a person to achieve moral perfection. Anyone can have morals, but to achieve them to perfection does not seem humanly possible. An example from my experience is to have discipline. Discipline teaches a person not to mess up in the future and to learn from your experiences. No matter how much discipline I have I know I cannot have this moral of mine perfected because I will make mistakes in the future. We can set morals for ourselves to follow but we are deemed to mess up occasionally. Although someone can say they live a perfect life, they are human just like you and I. Humans make mistakes whether we want to or not. This doesn’t mean our morals are out of sync, it just means we cannot achieve moral perfection in everything we do throughout our lives.
On the other hand trying to arrive at moral perfection is a worthwhile goal because you are putting forth the effort to accomplish what you want done. To try your best at your morals is an achievement itself because you want the best for what you are looking to achieve. But like I said earlier to have moral perfection is not always going to happen. Someone wanting to arrive at moral perfection would be a person wanting to be successful in the qualities they are wanting to improve. A quality Benjamin Franklin wrote was silence. A quality I wrote down was quiet. These compare because we both agreed that by being silent you will learn from others mistakes and it will be beneficial to you in the long run. Do not try to have every moral perfected because you learn more from mistakes, but arrive at moral perfection so you work hard towards the goal knowing you are only human and cannot help not to be perfect.
