The thing is...we get so wrapped up in percentages of this or percentages of that trying to interpret and understand the words of Ra that were interpreted to us by Carla, Jim & Don. So many layers of interpretation. Its like reading the words of the Christ in the Bible...all of which are supplied to us by fallible humans writing about a man who never wrote anything himself. As far as we know.
How does one quantify his or her actions on a daily basis in terms of what percentage they achieved. I don't think you can. Each day is a mountain of choice. I think, as human beings, we just have to try the best we can. Being aware of choices is the first step, in my view. But trying to count it or them will just drive you to distraction.
During the course of any day, being human, means that sometimes we are kind, sometimes we're petty...sometimes we're mean. Or just being aware that you didn't handle a situation well..and you ask yourself. "Could I have handled that better?"...and how you go about making things right afterwards.
Just because Ra comes across as calculating and logical almost to a fault doesn't mean we have to forego our humanity...not yet. Eventually, but not now.
