The Perfect Me

Somebody I want to be, but don't seem to be able to

The perfect me is a good guy. He loves God in all religions, loves people of all nations and dedicates his life to serve his beloved ones.

He is good at technology and uses it to help people, connect them with each other. He helps make information open to everyone. He is involved in the open-source community.

In all his activities, he tries to keep his contributions from standing out. He tries to avoid any credit. In every project he participates in, he tries not to make it dependent on him in any way.

He leads a simple life. He is a vegan, loves to fast and maintains a calorie-restricted diet. He tries to avoid worldly pleasures, but feels happy if other people attain happiness through them.

He is single, but by no means lonely. It's just that he doesn't want to concentrate his love on someone in particular. He loves everyone.

He is hard-working, and he loves his work. However he never gets too busy or excited to forget what his life is about. He doesn't work on Sundays, spending them in thought, long walks and prayer.

He avoids monetary matters. He tries to earn and spend as little as possible. His only precious thing is his love. He doesn't claim anything as his private property, but respects other people claiming their property.

He likes to learn new things, but is careful not to let his knowledge offset his goals. He maintains a general interest in sciences, but questions their ability to dictate human beliefs. He enjoys reading books, especially religious texts. He likes movies, but tries to avoid or ignore their entertaining part.

He is fond of art and creativity in any form, both as a human activity and as a result of it.

He finds non-violence a worthwhile ideology and is happy to practice non-violent behaviour in many parts of his life.
