Look further

When we were younger, we were afforded the ability to imagine great possibilities - there was so much beyond our world we didn't know about. We could study and regard every new thing with impatience and impracticality. Look beyond our means, we were asked.

Now that we're older, we must watch what we say, imagine only what is within our means, and asked not to be impractical.

Sometimes, the very same people who challenged us to look further are now the ones asking us to be more realistic and take the safe, time-tested route.

Do we impose this upon ourselves? On each other? Is it awareness of societal expectations?

Do you see the obvious or do you look beyond?
