Message: [QUOTE="SU in Hershey, post: 5473051, member: 609"] When you use absolutes such as "can't" and "best," it [I]sounds [/I]like wisdom, but [I]to me[/I] it comes across as judgmental. It seems dismissive and lacks appreciation of intent and room for (continued) growth. Maybe you are going after a more nuanced take on this situation, and maybe you know more about what's really happening (or happened). Still, there is little reason that one would be unable to "do good" for others while recognizing that they are still an unfinished product themselves. Otherwise we lose sight of who we want to be and why it matters. And yes, I admit that I may be way off base in this situation as I don't know the details. For his sake, I hope he is soon able to look in the mirror and like both who and what he sees staring back at him. I believe that would be him finding "the best version" of himself, as you stated.
