it is useless to have limits: mind flies over them, dreams the impossible, and when presented the opportunity will soak every last bit of light that pours through the cracks in the wall.
In fact, there are no limits in mankind. People are designed to push them, break them, explore all the realm of the unknown that lies beyond. It is against the nature of Men to think otherwise, and if doing so, we may as well stop breathing. We may be limited physically, but even that won’t stop emotions from flowing, and spirits from flying.
However, while limits are useless, boundaries are effective. The premise is otherwise, it accepts the fact that there is no limit, and establishes instead that both parties agree to a set of rules along an imaginary border. A boundary is physical. It doesn’t stop the knowledge of each other to stop, as any boundary is porous to both will and insanity, both acts and ideas. But it prevents and controls the sense of loss in a world that is too large.
And when boundaries are broken, war ensues. Kingdoms fall. Alliances are shattered. Links severed.
We may cause people to be angry with words and ideas. But it is the moment when a soldier dares stepping over the wall, cutting the fence, that the real turmoil starts.
Still, the boundary is a mere conception. Rivers flow through. Mountains are the same across both sides. Birds fly over.
And we, in the limelight of despair, dream together. We rely on boundaries so we can have no limits.
