No Limits

The well of providence is deep, it's the buckets we bring to it that are small.

Someone once remarked that every time human beings discover something pleasurable and enjoyable to do some government will pass laws to regulate and limit it. Why should there be any limits to life?

Why should there be any limits to good? Where did we get the idea of "going too far"? It is those who go too far that stretch the limits. The sour notes sung by the negativists are simple challenges to the spirit of the adventurers, the ones who do what can't be done or "shouldn't be done."

Just over 100 years ago the automobile became the mode of travel for those who could afford one. It was said by great authority that it was impossible for the human being to travel faster than 8 miles an hour and survive. "Holy cow, look at us now." Some of us travel through space faster than the speed of sound. "Yeah, but you can't travel faster than the speed of light and survive." Well, we'll se. Won't we?

Why should there be any limits to wealth? Those unfortunate millionaires who hoard money think there are. "If I don't have more than enough I don't have enough."

Why should there be limits to happiness? There are no limits to technology and engineering. Do we measure our happiness by the number of gadgets and machines we own? If so we are limiting our happiness. There will always be another, better gadget. I read about a robot that has another robot attached to it that makes repairs on the first robot. How far can they carry an idea like that? As far as they want to. There are no limits.

"Well, you have to draw the line somewhere." Oh? It's the drawing of unnecessary lines that keeps our buckets small.

Why should there be any limits to evil? There should be no evil and therefore no limits. The only measurement of evil is how long it takes to destroy itself.

'Whoa! Slow down. Back up." No. Look forward and go that way. Enjoy the life you have, even with its limitations, and find ways to make it better.

Look here. I have 10 Guest Author entries since I started offering this invitation. Now I want yours. If you haven't posted one here yet, please do so, or Santa won't come down your chimney. (I know he won't anyway, but that's beside the point.)

This is an invitation for anyone and everyone to post an entry of their own on my journal, Vagabond Journeys http://vagabondjourneys.blogspot.com/.

The end of the year holidays are upon us and since it is a time for celebrations, remembrances, resolutions and plans for the future I know that people have things to say.

Not to take away from the postings on your own journals, but to add to the joy of my own celebrations is why I invite you to write for mine.

I want to read what your thoughts are about this magical time of the year. This invitation is open to everyone: Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Pagans, Agnostics, Atheists and the Uncertain.

Tell me your thoughts on Chanukah, Christmas, Ashura, Kwanzaa, the Winter Solstice, New Years Eve. or any subject you wish or associate with this holiday season.

There are no limits in regard to length. The only limitation is that, for reasons so far unexplained to me, my blog does not take photographs, animations, videos or pictures of any kind. I deal in words.

Please accept my invitation. Send your entry to my email address dbdacoba@aol.com I will copy and paste it into my journal and it will be displayed promptly. You may sign your name or not as you wish, and you may leave a link to your blog or your email or not, as you wish. I will do NO editing or censoring. Eloquence is not necessary, mind or heart or both is all.

I have 10 Guest Authors so far. Check them out. Can I hear from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America? All are welcome. Admission is free.
