Darwin's Theory of Evolution says that every organism evolved slowly and progressively by taking advantages to slight successive variations. Every member of the living species have developed a functional advantage. Few species learnt to fly, few to swim etc.
Of all the species, Human Race is by far the best. It doesn't sound strange for anyone today, because, we could swim like few, fly like few and are possibly imitating every interesting aspect of all the possible species.
This is a fact or an aftermath of what Mankind has achieved today. However, centuries ago, when the cave man co-existed with the gamut of species, at that point of time, all that he achieved today was IMPOSSIBLE to him then.
Human race has a powerful quality unlike other species, the power of thinking and reasoning. This alone stands us apart from the rest and thus makes us Superior to all.
The cave man used this quality progressively to his best and started to chase the impossibilities through observation, reasoning.
Looking at the fish in the water or bird in the sky, might have thought "wish I could do the same, yet impossible".
Yes indeed!!, it was impossible when the thought first occurred. But it did not stop there. He started to observe how the other species could do and what takes him to do the same. He started to tame the wild and cuddle with pets. Eventually he started to live with the nature as a part of nature. Over a period of time, it wasn't impossible.
He hasn't stopped there, he started to explore the truth of nature, the very birth of nature. Started to distinguish between the living and non-living, living and dead, plants and animals so on and so forth. He used to find an answer for every impossible.
On a comparison between then and now, what it clearly shows is, from the midst of impossibilities, he started find out the possibilities.
Possibilities do not happen neither by snap of finger nor spur of the moment. They happen through the a series of lingering thoughts bothering about the same issue/challenge/task from all corners and angles before the spark is ignited and follows it to execution.
Time between Impossible and Possible is a PAUSE to think/question/challenge ourselves to see if I am ABLE to execute.
One is in a state of "I'm PAUSEing to find out if I am ABLE to Do" When the possibility is reached, the challenge one has faced is NOTHING or in other words "NOT a THING" to be worried off.
Unfortunately most of us do not have the patience or courage or will or zeal to fight that impossible. We are so happy to enjoy the so called material comforts or luxuries or amenities.
But all of these are either discoveries or inventions from legendary people, who once might have felt, it was impossible, yet after so many thoughts in between pauses, made these possible.
History proves, barring a few, that all of the scientific discoveries were made by them were only after their 60's. Their earnest and patient hard work all through their life, thinking about possibilities led to discoveries when they are close to death beds.
If only they were content with what was then and tried not for progression and always chanted impossible, the human evolution in all aspects, what is today, would not have ever been possible. Even in this modern day era, we find so many who are chasing the impossible not only to make human life better, but also to prove there is no limit for innovation and progression.
Between the Caveman and Man, there is a sea of change. Today we still prefer to be only Man, when there is a possibility to grow as Superman, yet always chanting Impossible. But when the mind and heart goes into it, what is IMPOSSIBLE is only ImPauseAble.
ImPauseAble is NotAThing (Impossible is Nothing)
