I like to think of myself as a very subjective thinking, so everything can change base on the circumstances, no? So, thinking in the realm of Possibility and Impossibility, where are the boundaries between them? Are they even there?
Many people use to say that a man couldn't fly, but man built planes. Now we can fly. There is also a popular expression around where I live- when pigs fly. "Yeah right, I'll believe that when I see a pig fly." Thinking about these two terms, one could say that it is impossible for a pig to fly. I, however, say that it's completely and utterly possible for a pig to fly. After all, I'm positive there's been at least one pig on a plane before. lol
In all seriousness though, I realize that they're referring to a pig flying as in flying on it's own without any help of a machine. This, however, becomes more complicated in the realm of possibility and impossibility. How could a pig ever physically fly? Well...a hell of a lot of science and biology. Things way beyond me. Regardless, in my mind, it could still happen. Whoever bothers to put enough time, energy, and money into creating such a creature is a fool in my mind, but with future technology- are you honestly telling me that there's no possible way for it to happen?
In this world, humanity has always been trying to push the boundary of possibility. Who is to say that one day, we couldn't created such a pig that was able to fly? It is in the future, beyond us, as a possibility that could grace this earth. Grant it, it is a silly example and a silly thing to bother trying to bring to life, but it is still an example that proves my point. Hopefully.
So, thinking of things in such a manner, what is truly impossible? Let's look into a few things that my family has attempted to convince me as an 'impossibility.'
They've told me that there's no way that I could make a living as simply a writer in my future. Grant it, it will be difficult and I'll need a fan base for that to happen. It will require work, talent, skill, and just the right people to manage to help me pull it off- but it's been done before. So therefore, it is not impossible. Especially considering they've never read my writing before.
They've told me that it's impossible for me to be able to get a job- largely because they claim that if they're unable to get a job, I won't be able to. I find this to be dead wrong, because in the end- it's probably more likely for me to be able to get a job over them. Why is that? I'm young, strong, and able-bodied. And I'm cheap by the standards of most jobs around here. I won't be paid as much, but as a minor, I'd still get paid.
What of the 'impossibilities' of others?
It's impossible for you to go to a University.
No matter what your limitations are, it's not impossible. Money is simply paper, it can be saved up. Though you may be struggling, remember that every country wants educated workers and there's likely aid out there if you look for it.
It's impossible for me to quit my job.
It's very possible, just hard for you to get a replacement.
Many 'impossibilities' of this world are merely excuses. Though it may seem impossible in your current situation, things may always be possible in the future. Just remember one thing- if anything from this entire post.
Anything is Possible.
