What I Learned Today (8/4/13 Edition)
Each generation has the potential to overcome the previous one, but only if they strive to be the best they can be... We are one ever-improving loop of generations.
“It is the struggle itself that is most important. We must strive to be more than we are. It does not matter that we will not reach our ultimate goal. The effort itself yields its own reward.”
- Gene Roddenberry, delivered by Brent Spiner as "Data"
Corrolary: JST Matt., 5:50: "Ye are therefore commanded to be perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." Even if we can't reach true perfection in this life, our efforts towards an impossible goal will reward us, and will enable us to achieve this goal in the life after this one.
