What is possible

The ridiculous airy confident belief in magic yet again.

“Be what you want,” he says, as if he were 3 and believed in Santa Claus. We can’t just be what we want, because we are what we are. Some things are changeable, but the vast majority are not. We work within narrow limits. We can be more educated or strong or talented by working on it, but we can’t be zebras or cars or apples, no matter how hard we work. That’s neither a shackle nor a prejudice, it’s a reality.
