An "infinite" person

An "infinite" person- from my Arts and Humanities: 20th Century and Beyond class
Our text defines an infinite person as one who commits no crimes against humanity, is free of rigid prejudices and does not jump to quick conclusions or judgments (Janaro & Altshuler, 2009, p. 18). For me this means someone who is unstained by society, someone who is at peace in chaos and can openly accept and love another despite their differences and/or failures. I believe we all begin this way with a pureness in spirit and an insatiable thirst to learn and grow. The most important trait, in my opinion, is being wholly open minded, considering all angles and knowing that even though you’ve considered all angles in your mind there are always those pieces that are unseen and unknown. In pursuing any goal this is significant to move forward. Judgment has an end, ceasing forward growth. Openness allows for improvement and growth.
