Found this gem on X today:
The beauty of doing nothing is that you can do it perfectly. Only when you do something is it almost impossible to do it without mistakes. Therefore people who are contributing nothing to society, except their constant criticisms, can feel both intellectually and morally superior.
— Thomas Sowell
Is it right, though? Can we make mistakes when we drive? Or when we land airplanes? Most areas of life have mistake tolerance, and the mistake tolerance gives an opportunity for risk taking. However, some life situations do not allow that. But in any case, the oversimplification of otherwise very complex problems feels pleasant to the eye. If you’re active, try to change things, you’ll make mistakes, will learn from them, and most of the times it will be okay.
