To the limit!

It's all about respecting moral fiber and following the rails that were well built in advance. Or at least that's what we are ought to say. If your life is built on certainty and safety you can for the better skip the first 30 years of your life and restart it from then on. It's all about pushing yourself to the limit. The thing about that all is that people are afraid of what might happen, afraid of the consequences that these events might imply. But, honestly, there's nothing that beats measuring yourself. You need to learn to go to the bone, whatever it brings, whatever the consequences. Measuring yourself in no matter what way is a spiritual experience that escapes so many of us. Try it and accept the consequences and there will always be a new goal to attain!

Wouldn't it destroy the world if people stop thinking about the consequences of their acts.............?

In my opinion this blog has a way more general annotation. I'm just saying that people needn't be afraid to measure themselves. Primo Levi once wrote:" How important it is in life, not necesseraly to be strong, but to feel strong, to measure yourself at least once." Let that serve as an example and explanation to my little composition.

from time to time pushing yourself to the limit is good. Some people do think too much. But we still have to think about morality and respect as well.

Morality and respect have nothing to do with pushing yourself to the limit. These are just values brought up by people who want to shape the world in something it is not. Morality and respect are abstractions made by GREAT MINDS, not to be moral or respectfull but rather to get something done from people. These abstractions are not inherent to what or who we are, and they only prevent you (in this case) from doing what you WANT to do-- even if it is just an impulse.
Look to our history: oppression and morality go hand in hand.
It is up to US to redefine these values. Not for the sake of humanity, but for ourselves.

Doe eens zot en slaag niet voor je examens, vind geen werk, word straatmuzikant, ga wat aan de Carrefour bedelen.
Doe eens zot en raak verlamd.
Doe eens zot en ga voor half Belgiƫ op je bek.
Doe eens zot en verbreek je relaties en sterf eenzaam.
To the bone ... yeah right.
