That's how it is. We all have limitations. Some are more obvious than others, but that shouldn't stop us. We just need to know what they are so we can work around them or within them or to change them.
I have often thought about this issue in our government. We all want things to change, but even with the best of intentions, one person can't do it. It takes a village. Sometimes that village is the whole country.

I heard Bill Clinton say recently that neither party can be all wrong all the time. I agree that knowing our limitations is the first step toward being able to accept that we need someone else to fill in the gap.
I wonder if cats recognize limitations - theirs, not ours. :-)
it surely takes a village...i think of myself as a citizen of the world, it helps give perspective to the connectedness of human life.
sending lots of love and light your way. one love.
