Breaking the limits
Let's start with first breaking down the definition of limit. Using Oxford dictionary, 1. A point or level beyond which something does not or may not extend or pass. I don't like this definition, because it's not explicit, it branches. Does not and may not are 2 complete different things. They would need 2 separate definitions to be more accurate. If you had a cup, and its limit of being full was the rim of the cup, it can not be filled anymore, therefore "does not extend or pass." And a speed limit can be, therefore, a different definition with "may not extend or pass." And then the second definition, being 2. A restriction on the size or amount of something permissible or possible. This definition is basically the same thing but uses different context. Permissible and possible counter each other into needing 2 separate definitions. There are a few more definitions, but really they all break down to being the same 2 points. Objective limits and subjective limits. I argue that subjective limits are imaginary and only held by someone or someone's, and objective limits are impossible to pass. Speed limits can be passed because they are set by someone, and a glass of water filled to the brim, is at its limit, because the glass has a set size and can only contain that much water.
First time I got pulled over for speeding, I was going 145kph in a 70kph zone. This police office asked why I was going so fast and I told him, it's fun, and I had a smile stretched across my face, but mainly because I was nervous because I thought I was losing my license and my car, to which he informed me that he could take both from me, but he didn't. He gave me a warning and then followed me back into town. At this point I should mention, I've driven 192 in 90 zones, and only because my car at the time wouldn't go any faster. So, the posted speed limit is 90 and the actual limit in the car I was in was 192. 2 different limits. After I got pulled over, I did think about it and now I don't drive that fast. but I have got pulled over 3 more times since then and got tickets for each time. The next time was 85 in a 50, another time was 55 in a school zone posted at 30, which was me just not paying good attention, that was an actual mistake and then my favorite, I was going 170 in a 100 in a province I'm not from, and they speak a different language. This officer was my favorite, he wasn't the best at speaking English, and he was more impressed that I was going that fast, and he marked me down quite a bit before issuing the ticket, and then asked to het a picture with me and my car, so somewhere put there, a police officer has a photo of him, me and my car. And then I continued my drove at a slower pace.
Pushing the limit, a term people use when it involves you and your comfort. I've sat through immense pain, I've fasted for 54 hours before, no water or food, I've eaten 3000ug of lsd in a single night, and some people would not be able to do any of these, so in a sense, I've broken some limits. But really, all I did was reset the line. The mind is a very powerful tool and your body is a very squishy, easily broken object that you carry around. If you take good care of you mind, you will more than likely take good care of your body. Your mind is forever, your body is borrowed. Think of the entire universe wrapped in a layer, and that layer is the mind, we all share that exact mind, at the core. In the deepest part of the mind, it only thinks in cognitive patterns. It reads the current situation and sends signals. Your person, or what I call the cake, changes these signals based on past experiences. amd everyone has a different cake with some possible similarities. Some people have more than 1 cake that they can switch in between. Think of your personality like a shirt, you can change it or you can wear the same one forever. Your mind in the other hand, chant be changed. When you "make up your mind" or "change your mind", you're just changing your cake. Your mind is us, it's the closest you can be to anyone. You feel. We feel the same way, but how we see it, or set emotions to, may be different.
Are you someone? Or are you the events that happen to that person? You very well could just be the filter of time being pulled through an object, that object being the complete area of what you think you are. The start of your life and the end of you life exist simultaneously, and you only experience a sliver of it at a time. If you were the person, your cake mind wouldn't change, it would have a set reaction to everything. You can change how you feel due to everything that already happened. Happened as is the one side of the time filter that has passed through. Why I think we are just the filter of time is because it moves in a direction, where as all existence is a block. Or think of it like a finished book, and each fraction of time is a page, where the end of the book exists right now. We can even take it a layer deeper by assuming everytime you make a choice, we change books that have everything the exact same uo until this point, but has a different ending, but still, all these books still exist right now.
When I have the time to sit and think, I have the time to write, I don't have any straight path of where my writing leads, it's basically what's on my mind while I'm writing it.
