Growing up, we do not understand that there are limits. We think we can fly like our favorite super hero. We believe the pretty blue light on the stove is magical and won’t hurt us. We create countless worlds using just our mind. Then something happens. Along comes some moment where restrictions on our mind are placed. We are told we can’t fly, we will be burned if we touch the magical lights on the stove and suddenly the imaginary worlds are not so vivid anymore. What happens? When does that happen? More importantly, why? Why are there limits? Are there really limits? Seems as though we keep pushing things to the limit. Speed records are constantly broken, new technology is constantly emerging, etc. Seeing all these things I can only wonder: are there really limits? Or are they just constraints on our imagination?
Limits: Why do they exist?

I wish I could imagine the ability to see beyond the limits. I wish that the idea of cause and effect did not exist in the natural world. I wish I never experienced consequence of limitation. Human nature creates limitation; furthermore, society places a negative perspective on those who test the boundaries. Change is BAD, didn’t you get the memo; we live in a conservative world and if another Rep. gets elected to office change will never take place in the governing of our nation. Or will it?
