-I have flying limitations, but I fly. I fly because we humans like to find ways to solve problems. It’s one of the great gifts of our nature. If we can’t fly, we invent airplanes. If we want to water our gardens, we invent hoses. It’s what we do. … We all live around our limitations. Everybody does it. We just don’t often think about it. Every cup of coffee we drink is living around the limitation that we can’t hold steaming hot coffee using our bare hands as a cup. Every snowstorm we walk through wearing clothes and staying warm is living around the limitation that we don’t grow fur.
