Chapter 83 infinite possibilities

Because human possibilities are infinite, this statement makes everyone lose enthusiasm and feel empty. Humanistic psychologist Rollo May participated in a small symposium held in a New York mosque on a weekend night to discuss the future of mankind.The participants were all talented people of the moment, and the audience was about 700 to 800 people, all of whom were eager to hear. The least they wanted to hear was an interesting discussion.In his speech, the chairman emphasized that the possibilities of human beings are infinite. The infinite possibility of human beings is one of the reasons why human beings are full of hope.But the strange thing is that when the symposium was going on, everyone seemed to be unable to find any clear questions for discussion. Both the symposium participants and the audience felt that the venue was filled with an empty atmosphere.

The very stimulating issues that the participating gentlemen wanted to discuss, but they seemed to disappear mysteriously in an instant.When this fruitless symposium ended, a common question arose in everyone's mind: what went wrong? According to Rollo May, it was the statement that human possibilities were limitless that lost enthusiasm among the participants.If you just take that sentence at face value, then there really isn't any real issue to discuss, just get up, sing hallelujah, and go home to bed.Because no matter what the problem is, sooner or later, it will be overcome and solved by this infinite possibility of human beings; all difficulties are only temporary, and as soon as the time comes, they will naturally disappear.

The chairman's words were originally intended to encourage everyone, but in the end it made everyone lose their fighting spirit. In human life, limits are not only unavoidable, but even necessary. All human civilizations arise from human beings' struggle and resistance to the environment that limits them. In other words, people feel limited and conscious of their own Limitations, eager to improve, only the birth of civilization. Human growth is to choose one's own limitations among infinite possibilities.
