We all aspire to be good people.  We strive to change the world for the better, beginning with ourselves.  Improvement and self-improvement is our ongoing endeavor.  Religious exemplars, saints and sages, may serve as models of moral perfection.  And yet, perfectionism can also be our undoing.  As Voltaire put it so well, “Perfection is the enemy of the good.”
