Limits

Nietzsche remarked in Beyond Good and Evil that "man is free only when he is able to realize and accept his limitations."

We can do and do (and let's hope we do!), but only so much. Sometimes we reach the limit of effecting change, and we must accept that a new situation or environment is necessary to achieve our wants. Accepting that we are not in control is one of the most difficult things to do. But then, that is how we become free...and it is through freedom that we may achieve.

Let's push the boundaries of our limitations, but recognize and respect those that stand firm. They will teach us many things.
