THE LIMIT

What’s a limit?
The point of end of something, beyond which it doesn’t exist, beyond which it has never gone and will never be gone.
What’s the limit?
We don’t know.
All our lives we are taught to be limitless, to do whatever can not be done, to reach the unknown, to achieve the unattainable, to win the invincible. But what we are never taught is that what is the limit. What is the limit of anything we do? What is the limit of the heights we want to reach? What is the limit of the desires we create? What is the limit of the dreams we see? What is the limit of the groups we extend?

WHAT LIMIT?

There is a serious lack of knowledge of limits. We’ve created formulas to derive the mathematical limit of equations yet we do not know the limit of things in our lives. We do not know when to stop and be satisfied, we do not know when to be happy and when to rest.

Some of you might be thinking that it is good to be limitless. Well, in most cases, YES. But will you ever be happy being limitless? Can you be satisfied ever? Knowing you’ve long to go, a lot more to achieve, much bigger to earn?

Being limitless gives a sense of motivation, yes, definitely, but it brings along uncertainty. There are times you feel hopeless, there are days you feel exhausted, there are moments you want to be done with everything and everyone around, but you don’t do that, because you are uncertain, you’re unsure; unsure of the limit. You work hard all your life just to realize you never knew when to stop. You don’t know how much effort you need to make for something, in order to make it happen. You don’t know when is the rest stop. And the lack of all such information bugs you so much that your brain starts to implode and you feel directionless and exhausted. You don’t know where to go anymore, don’t know when to start and what exactly to start about. Being limitless accounts to all such uncertainties which instills a sense of being lost; a fear; fear of the unknown, fear of the unseen.

WHY LIMIT?

Success is must, earning money is a must, indeed, but more of anything else, happiness is a must, satisfaction is a must, a feeling of fulfilment is a must. You don’t stop eating until you feel full. Imagine if you just keep eating for the rest of your life but never feel full and thus, never stop… How would your life be like? What would the world be then?

I guess you can see the bigger picture now.

Contentment is necessary. A feeling of fulfilment is necessary. Otherwise,

We all are just hungry wild wolves, scratching our way to more and more flesh trying to satisfy our never-ending hunger, sabotaging everything coming in the way, be it a bud of weed or a piece of meat.
