how far can you fly?

as an exercise, let us take a simple question, like:

how far can you fly?

and now, lets try to answer it:

first answer
humans cannot fly! so, the question is prety stupid!

---

but i'm not satisfied with that, so let's try again;

second answer
before the first flight, you would have gotten the answer above, from all people except perhaps this dead dude.

he imagined the first ever flying machine:



so, if you define flight as "lifting from the ground using a form of propusion that is temporary able to overcome gravity", then i can fly about a meter and a half, thank you very much (ok, maybe two meters, if i'm running to begin with); and then, the first flyers were the human cannonballs.


and ofcourse, let's not forget that some people fly using cannabis sativa. ( don't drink and drive when you can smoke and fly! :) ).

so, what the hell did i want to say with all that?

that the world around you, what you deem as realistic possibilities, are limited by what you see around you. what you consider impossible, or impractical (or idealistic if you will) is often just your choice to not look further.


in other words, your inner universe, your potential and possibilities are limited by your beliefs; by those affirmations that you end up bringing up while talking to your friends in a form like no, i cannot accept that <<...>>.

you can replace the <<...>> with whatever you (don't) like:

Jesus was just a man for example, or

heavier than air objects can lift of the ground through a heavier than air propulsion system, or

you are free to choose, allways and in every situation, or

god, however you define him, does not exist.
