Quite honestly, I think *that's* a thought-stopper, a way of avoiding dealing with what I said, and a pretty classic way of arguing for your own limitations. In my belief -- *and* in my experience -- the answer to Jim's question is that there is NO limit to human experience. Anything one can imagine can be done, can be done. The issue is the breadth of one's imagination, and the accompanying down-to-the-core belief that the thing really *can* be done. Those who cannot conceive of being able to have a certain capacity can't. Simple as that. And, the corollary, those who *can* conceive of having a certain capacity can, given that other conditions are fulfilled. But without the precondition of believing it possible, the capacity is beyond them. It will stay beyond them as long as they do not believe it possible. So, again, "Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours." You seem content with your limitations...may they serve you well, and give you any number of opportunities in the future to argue for them and about them. :-) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
