The Give and Get Balance

Stefano Bertozzi's speech was very thought provoking.  Although I think that he has a generally good philosophy, I don't totally agree with everything he is saying.  He didn't seem to say that we should strive to be the best that we can be.  He said that it is okay to do bad stuff, as long as you do good stuff too.  Although I think that he probably is a generally "good person," and does good things for the world, I wasn't particularly fond of what he left out of his speech.  Although we are all human and very prone to sin, we must strive to be the very best we can be.  We don't need to dwell on all of the ways we've messed up (if we did that, we would most likely be very depressed), but that doesn't make them okay.  I enjoyed his speech because it made me think about my own opinions.  Although I don't agree with everything he said, I think he has some sort of good foundation for a good idea.  It is at least worth thinking about.
