Well we've settled down and settled for less.What happened to the passion, the rage, the couldn't care less?
What makes us do it, to lock ourselves in and throw away the key?Are voluntary inmates? Do we do it instinctively?
Do we do it for our children? We certainly don't do it for ourselves. Do we do it to pay the mortgage? Or is it better not to delve?
Do we know where we're going? Do we remember where we've been?We tell ourselves that we care but do we say what we mean? And come those terrible moments, when it's too much to bear,We look to numb all, to paralyse it, pretend it's not there. But there it is and there it will stay and as a bird caged from birth afraid to fly free,We remain in our self made cell, looking out, afraid to stray. But do we tell other people how we feel? We do not.Do they reveal their pain to us? Do they rot! But comes a time when we must lay all this to rest. To convince ourselves ourselves what we have is what we want And not want what we know is best

I'm worried that TV can influence people. I watched the Titanic yesterday, and after it, I put ice cubes in my bath and sank my rubber duck. What do you think?

One would say infinity is not definable. Other would mathematically prove that infinity exists.
My own opinion is that infinity is the proof that the human mind is deliberately limited by, let's call it "an entity", very likely the same entity which created the human kind (call it God if you wish).
How's that? I'll give you some help by making an analogy: imagine a top car which is able to reach speeds around 300km per hour; for security reasons however, that car is electronicaly limited at 240km/h by the manufacturer.
Well, in a similar way, our mind is able to recognize the existance of infinity however it cannot understand its essence. So here's the hint: our brain's potential is far higher than one can imagine but someone (or something) purposely set up a limitation on it.
What do you think?
