Human

I am human. Despite the fact that I can do things that most normal people couldn't, but how? I don't see how come people cannot do what another normal human being couldn't (except for things that is really exclusive upon gender, special conditions, and any other "abnormalities"), but with a little practice. Anyways, yesterday (23-May), it was about 2 in the morning. I was doing what I usually do that time, use the computer. I was supposed to go to school that day to get started on my enrollment process later that day. Then my dad comes home drunk. You know what that means. No, never any smashed belongings, no mindless shouting and waking up neighbors, and never any blood. He seems a little calmer than usual when drunk, but his patience is shortened. Enough about my dad, so he comes in and reminds me that I have to go to school later that day and tells me to go to sleep. No unusual thing there, I mean, I get that everyday. But here's something a little memorable that he said along with the usual lines that he say to persuade me to go to sleep earlier, "Lahat ng tao ay may limitasyon." (Everyone has a limitation) That kind of made me think a little, but I never said anything back, I just calmly turned off the computer, and headed to my room. Why is that line a little memorable, you ask? Because it made me write stuff in my little notebook (I'll tell you guys about this on later posts) blog about it the morning after. Haha. Just kidding. It really made me think, think about a human being's limitations. Why do people have limitations? What makes us say that we do have limitations? Maybe the reason why we do have these limitations, is because we recognize the existence of these limitations. If we knew no boundaries, we could move mountains, and stuff. We just have to bloody believe in ourselves, darn it. Believing that you can't do something is a lot worse than failing to do that something. Trying, risking failure, and believing that you could succeed is hell of a lot better than cowering in a corner, whining about why you aren't a better man. If we just believe in ourselves, we could do anything. But that's just my optimistic side speaking. The reality is, we can't do everything. We can't be at two places at the same time, we couldn't behead ourselves and live for days, we couldn't even please everyone, which is possible, but is just impossible, and tons of other junk like that.

With that, I leave you guys with two of my just-made-up-but-would-totally-make-sense-if-you-really-think-about-it quotes:
"We are human, but not JUST human."
"Believe in ourselves and we could be superhuman, but it's impossible to be omnipotent."
