BE YE THEREFORE PERFECT !
Analyzing what went wrong in any part, or system, whenever there is a crash or a defect of some kind, causing death or trauma, used to always make me wonder about those investigators who would afterwards meticulously comb through the wreckage for its cause.
"Why do that? what's the point? You can't undo the event!" I was, it now seems, more focused upon the human fatalities, or injuries, not the malfunctioning processes, or irregularities causing both.
That rather risqué attitude toward accidents and mishaps is shameful now to admit, in retrospect, but it is even so, sadly, the absolute, though supercilious, truth! Prudence, I now know, demands an investigation to prevent a recurrence of the error.
This previous nonchalant attitude towards investigations and determinations of causation and proof has bedeviled much of my life. Getting over it , overcoming it was a victory over myself.
As many may know, I was not alone in this outlook. Despite my degrees and achievements, I began to recognize, that more was required of me to reach the bedrock of truth, that I had sought.
The same miasma of unmotivated mediocrity had also settled over a huge swath of my peers, my friends, in public schools & college & in professional life as well!
Being off by a 1/64 of degree is still error. Minor errors aggravate.
We were encouraged to work hard, and were told to do our best by many adults, as kids. But we saw few rewards for such rigor among these adults, as reinforcement for these admonitions! Or, we did not recognize what we saw! True, some blacks, a very fortunate few, were rich. These we celebrated but we did not, then, emulate their energy investments that were surely vast!
In time, following painful snafus and embarrassingly disappointing outcomes, cracks began to develop in our amour of "cool," in our insouciant swagger. We knew intuitively that in order to win this greater fight for life, we would have to train, to condition ourselves to a higher degree of excellence. The kind of training that iconic champion, Joe Louis, had pursued prior to his second fight with Max Schmeling of Hitler's Germany in 1936--that Joe Louis won!. We simply had to do better in our efforts!
We were transformed subliminally spiritually. We had assumed a new attitude; were born again, at least I was! Despite my notable attainments, there was still much more that I could do; that I was born to do; was prepared to do, had been spared by God to do!
We now knew that our honored ancestors' old time advice was yet true. There ain't no shortcuts to greatness, to accomplishments.
Causality, or the disruption in the flow of factors, in the chain of events, we came to perceive, is and was a probative factor in all mishaps, accidents, failings, or catastrophes, whether their yet-unknown causes were financial, legal, political, epistemological electrical, mechanical, natural, sociological, or cosmological.
Determining causation's dynamics is & was crucial to uncovering, then correcting, the innate or inert failings from within its defects in a part of, or within its larger system, regardless of medium, whether human or not.
This review & its remedy would require the same rigorous attention to basic historical facts and to their causal interrelationships as one commonly finds among investigators of plane crashes, auto accidents, train wrecks or others. Moreover, in addition to the physics of these strictly material failures, human failings are further compounded by a 'physics-plus' phenomenon. That is because we are more than mere man-made stuff ! We are also human embodiments of God's divine & nether realms.

It is imperative, therefore, that we use the truth, and seek the truth. Only the "truth," in its most accurate, confirmed, unexpurgated form, exhibiting mathematical accuracy, geometric assiduity, melody & beauty can be our golden rule/ ratio.
No fact is too small to be factored into the equation, since we are not too small, but still factor into the equation, even in our remote galaxy, remoter solar system, & infinitesimal planet. Nor is any operation too recondite, too exalted, too arcane, to be relevant in resolving, in deducing the whole, because we descend from star dust, indeed.
Therefore perfection must be our only standard! Jesus Christ has said: "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your father in heaven is perfect ," in his famous "Sermon on the Mount," in Matt. 5:48.

Take this particular verse seriously & literally! Live it out each day!
As has often been proven, "A squared + B squared = C squared in right-angled triangles." This Pythagorean theorem, so called, we perfectly PERSONIFY, fit into, embody in this space and time for actualization of our purpose, whose precision is denoted herein.
Live right! Walk right! Think right!
Amen.
