Self-limitation
Most people reach a point in life sooner or laterwhen they cease to grow, expand, develop,
finding their own limitation
and resigning to it as a solemn fact.
It isn't. When you stop you start to die,
resigning is suicidal although you are not aware of it,
and then the only hope for your salvation is to die for real.
How can you remedy this mortal unavoidable dilemma?
Workaholics never face it, since they work until they die,
and that's a clue to how to cope with it:
to never tire in continuously making an effort,
even forcing yourself to it when it's necessary,
always going on to look around next corner
and to never stoop to deal with what inevitably always
tries to drag you down and slow you down in pettiness.
You were born free, that freedom is your main inheritance,
and it's your duty as a living being to maintain it,
cultivate and expand it to eternity.
