Precise..nah...Approximation would do.... - Manu writes

Precise..nah...Approximation would do....
Really..???
Read on.....
I recently overheard a conversation that I will remember for a long time to come:
"Why should one strive for precision, when approximation could work just as well?", asked one.
"Well.. the context deicdes it all. If one wants to lead an ideal life, then perhaps, one could get close enough to it by doing good deeds, being compassionate and a myriad ways of leading life well. Here, approximation is good too. But if one is striving for Enlightenment... then there is no approximation. One is either enlightened or not; there is nothing in between"... - Thus spake my wise old man.
