what are our limitations?

Question

As humans, what are our biggest flaws and our greatest limitations ?

And can they be remedied, cured, or corrected ?

Answer 1

Hey Fenton,

Vanity, arrogance, mean, rude, etc. are all flaws. Our limits are in our minds, and our physical constraints. We can remedy our flaws, and many of our physical constraints.

We have the power to think, create, and solve problems for those reasons.

Answer 2

As humans, our biggest flaws are our egos. They prevent us from being all that we can be, and from relating to other people in a real way. If causes us to break laws, and hurt those around us, promote war and all kinds of sins. Yes, it can be remedied, but only if an individual wants to and is willing to do the work. As a race, I don't believe that we can remedi cure or correct it. Too many rules and regulations. If enough individuals were to put down their egos, then we would live in a more perfect world.

Answer 3

I think self esteem and self confidence are our greatest traits, but without them comes are greatest flaws and limitations. If you don't have a believe in yourself that you are worthwhile or that people will want to know you....you not only stifle yourself but also your community. I have come from a place of no self esteem, tried suicide and failed badly (lucky for me); but worked hard to come to a place where I like who I am and what I have to offer others. Sadly, I see to many people letting themselves down because they don't like themselves, or believe they are good enough for others. If we all loved ourselves a little more then we would be capable of loving others a little more.

Another great flaw is fear, how many wars have been fought over fear? And if you were to really think about it, isn't that what it amounts to?

Answer 4

We are obviously dysfunctional.... which equals too many flaws to count. Our greatest limitation? Ourselves. Wisdom may be great, but it's a balance in the world. With wisdom comes cynicism, skepticism, superiority complexes.... we lose the innocence that books like The Catcher in the Rye speaks of and that Criss Angel stresses whenever he does his mindfreak magic.

Answer 5

The biggest limitation is the nature of logical mind to pre-conclude at the very first sight... no big proof needed, just a calm observation of people in casual conversation would convince.
Remedy is to enhance the ability to break the incessant chain of thoughts, to keep it empty, at will by consciously practicing it regularly, using a technique of sitting quietly eyes closed, relaxed, attempting to be an active witness... !

Answer 6

I think provincialism is one of the biggest flaws and greatest limitations I have found in humans. When spending time with great and brilliant people, I've sometimes been appalled to observe the meanest little attitudes coming out unexpectedly.

A recent incident involved a renowned brain surgeon who fought hard to have a brain cancer facility named after his attorney . . . you heard me, his attorney! These people need assistance with moral issues, ethics, broadening their views, and related matters. Skill with a knife does not a moralist make.

Answer 7

Our greatest limitation or flaw is that

in spite of being so minuscule in this vast and varied universe of boundless possibilities, we are unable to get over our bloated ego. Once we genuinely realise how SMALL we are even collectively as the human species, only then would our unending quest for the truth and happiness get answered.

So, the formula is very simple - just keep reminding oneself how SMALL one is in this vast and varied universe!!

Answer 8

i was gonna say death is the biggest limitation ,

but if it can be corrected cured or remedied then it is not a limitation anymore ,so the answer cancels out your question

Answer 9

we do not realize that humans on themselves can't maintain. That's why God the father exists, we do not fully realize that God's commandments are a sacred laws of virtue; we don't see virtue being sacred. If we in this world applied all the negative things to our lives we as humans will not exist, but if we keep applying everything that is of virtue we will realize we are not only destroying our bodies but also our spirits within, which I believe it's our true and natural selves. We have to realize that we are not only part of the universe but participants of it. We have to magnify the spiritual power within us, but only through righteousness can such power be magnified. All things that are of matter of this world come from pure energy, we are energy, our spirits are energy, we are One in God and God within us. God is Omni potent, Omni scient, and Omni present (in spirit), that is why God is an emotional God. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saint believes that God was once man, but before he became God he found and mastered the spirit within himself.

Proverbs: Chapter 8 verse 22-33:

22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor athe highest part of the dust of the world.
27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

Answer 10

Flaws and limitations? One word: Arrogance.

Humanity sees itself as the ultimate - man's image is his idol, his reason his holy text, and his word the law of the earth. Nevermind how unreasonable he is. Nevermind what generally happens when man declares himself god.

Can you make enough humble pie for all humanity? Can man be convinced to get off his high horse before the lack of oxygen at such altitude suffocates him?

I honestly don't think there's enough humility left in the world to pull that off.
