Perfectibility? No! Improvability? Yes!
Most aspects of our personality (thoughts and behavior) are modifiable; we can get worse or we can get better at something. Why not improve? If we have a personality trait or characteristic that is too weak, or too strong, we can improve it, or we can ignore it, allowing it to stay the same or even get worse. When things don’t improve that need improving, or even get worse, we suffer and so do those around us. If we tend to get angry too quick, or fail to listen well when someone else is speaking, we can certainly improve it. Don’t know enough about something, we can learn more about it and apply it. We are not a “fixed” and “permanent” personality, we are constantly changing, why not work to make these changes positive and constructive rather than negative and destructive?
Progress through personal improvement is certainly worth our time; and others will benefit as well!
