“Limitless”

Monday, March 14, 2011

Our planet Earth is spheroid in shape.

We may carelessly not pay any close attention to this fact because it seems to us that there was no other possible form it could take.

Anything that is spherical or round can assume no real boundary, if our planet was a cube, you'd see edges.

What I am try to say is that, you really cannot see where a round shape starts or ends; in other words,

No boundaries…


 

    "When we view the four directions from a boat on the ocean

    where no land is in sight, it looks circular and nothing else.

    However, this ocean is neither round nor square,

    And its qualities are infinite in variety.

    It is like a palace; it is like a jewel…

    When a fish swims in the ocea, there is no limit to the water,

    When a bird flies in the sky, there is no limit to the air,

    No matter how far it flies.

    However, no fish or bird has ever left its element since the beginning…"

We live on a planet with no boundaries…
So what do we limit ourselves by?
