Thanks mods for starting this thread. I guess I will start with a question. Is perfection attainable? Add this to the one-liner thread but Reb Steven Wright said, "When I was young they told me that practice makes perfect. Then they told me nobody's perfect. So I stopped practicing."
The question is this, if I say, "Come on, chevra, let's have a DO right now. I am driving. By the way I have a 99% record of NOT falling asleep at the wheel!" Are you comfortable with my lack of perfection? Or would you prefer a comitment to perfection?
So this is the discussion. In baseball, a batter who hits .400 is amazing. For a pilot who lands .9999 of his flights is terrible.
On the other hand, what do you want from me? I should be like Dovid Hamelech who chazal say killed his yetzer harah with fasting until he could say "libi chalal b'kirbi"? It's not happening so soon.
Discuss.
