Thanks for thinking about it and leaving your input.
Actually it does make sense. Some limiting factors are chosen and desirable (the choice to have children, for example). I wouldn't go as far to suggest thay everyone is capable of doing anything and everything they want. But then there are boxes that others put us in, I believe, and we learn to make compromises in our lives and implicitly accept them.
Having a focused vision and choosing not to accept reality as others have constructed it is different than saying "I'm open to all and any possibility."
Yes, agree it is a balance between not being told by others what you can do or should do/be, but seeking always to study and assess and decide what you want to do.
The ability to think for oneself is a powerful skill but one that sadly not all people are lucky enough to gain.
In the end I believe a lot of it comes down to the love or lack of it that surrounds us as we develop and learn how to think... our earliest years of life.
Without the safety of a loving environment children may never develop the freedom of thought and inquiry required to search for, question and decide upon the many ways of seeing the world.
