Nobody is perfect (I)

Not should anyone be considered better that others, is not it?. We all have our faults, not all the same, not all with the same effects of course. And yet many of us think we are better, even superior...why? how can we justify that attitude to others?. Thinking of it, so many examples come to my mind that I might as well be writing on this subject for the rest of my life:

- Woman that think they are prettier than others.
- Men that think they are stronger than others.
- Religions that think they are the only right ones.
- Nationalities that think they are the best ones.
- People that think they belong to a superior race.
- Individuals that think they are more intelligent than their neighbours.
- Groups that think their morals are the right ones.
- Sport clubs that consider themselves to be the best in the world.
- Etc, etc, etc...

How many times have we heard/said that beauty is on the inside?.
How many times have we read strength is not a physical quality, it should be in our understanding and tolerance, that it means peace and not violence?.
How many times how we listened that we should respect all religious views?.
How many countries can say they do not have big issues to solve and that all their citizens are treated fairly?.
Do not we all agree that we are all equal and might not be discriminated because of our sex, race, religion, etc?
Do not we all agree that respect and tolerance is the base for peace and development?

I would like to think that if we were going to ask to each human being in the planet if they think they are better, more clever, more beautiful, superior in any sense, we all would say:

-No, of course not, how can you compare? we are all so different!.

And I know that is never going to happen .How can it be?. Even myself, thinking of it, talking all about I am not being perfect, being concious of  many (not all) of my faults, knowing that it is impossible to objectively  measure and compare one life against another, trying to be fair, trying hard to be a good, tolerant, respectful individual; I find myself many times thinking I am better!

I might not be conscious of it, but every time I think someone is wrong is because I think I am right.
And we can start all over again.

Nobody is perfect!!!
