Whatever you do, however you respond in a given situation will have something or the other to do with what your parents/teachers/friends/books/culture/family/siblings/environment taught you at some point in your life.
And then comes the question. Do you have the best parents? Did you learn in the best school? Did you grow up in the best neighborhood? Did you read all the best books? Where you nurtured in the best way possible?
And, how will you explain your imperfections? Nurture.
Realizing that what you’ve been taught as a child may not be the right/best thing to do in a situation helps you also realize the potential for growth.
And that will lead you to sources – people/books/ideas/cultures/thoughts that will make you grow.
And then, you become perfect.

Subscribe to my Substack Newsletter
As you might have noticed, social media these days prioritize engagement and doesn’t really let people build relationship with an audience. One way to take back some control is to directly be connected to your favorite authors, artists, etc through e-mail. And that’s what subscribing to my newsletter is about, too. I’m intentionally staying away from substack (which is susceptible to enshittification), and self-hosting the newsletter. What that means is also that the mails could land in spam. So, please press “Not spam” if they do end up in spam. Thank you!
