Tiger Woods has a lot of “shoulds” and Charlie Sheen, to his wife, is mean. Celebrity character flaws are always in the news. If it isn’t drugs or booze, it is neurosis, psychosis, or immoral behavior. I am thankful for not being famous. Only my friends know about my flaws. Bono is an exception to the rule. He seems to always be doing something good for humanity. He is a very intelligent and talented person. I hope his flaws remain unknown. He is human so, he must have some. So far, he has kept them hidden. A man is the sum of his actions and what he has done. Hopefully, the good outweighs the bad. Shakespeare said, “To err is human, to forgive, divine.” This is a difficult ambition. I am not divine enough to forgive someone like Adolph Hitler. There is a limit on what can be forgiven. Everyone has a different set point.
We all have one thing in common, our imperfections. There are those who have had an achievement which made our world a better place but that does not make them perfect. In a perfect world, we would not judge others nor have prejudices. Learning to tolerate and accept one another is something to aspire for. However, again, there are limits. Common sense tells me to not be tolerant of militant Muslims who are trying to destroy my way of life. I say profile the bastards! Finally, our government has decided that it is politically correct to profile Muslims and other wanna be terrorist from certain countries. It is about time! We were damn lucky that goofy Nigerian just set his pants on fire instead of blowing up an airplane with hundreds of people on board. Wake up people! Fundamentalist Muslims hate us and want to kill us!
Everyone makes mistakes. The trick is to do it when nobody is looking!
