We are told,'Nothing is impossible.' Isn't it self contradictory?If everything is possible,then how can you rule out the existence of something impossible. There may be many things that are impossible. Your take,please.

@jhieeen,I am positive and keep focussed on the bright side of things.Actually,last night I was pondering over the adage when suddenly a thought flashed across my mind and I produced it in the form of this discussion.

@jhieeen Thanks,dear friend.I know I am like you and anybody around me.I know what I can do and what I can't.And perhaps knowing our weak and strong points is our real strength.Am I wrong?

I do think there are things in life that is impossible. But there are also a lot of things in like thought to be impossible that are possible if you have the desire. Kind of confusing.

@simone10,All things that are within reason are possible.Things beyond reason are always impossible.If you ask me to lift the earth,it is beyond reason.I can't do it.If you ask me to lift a heavy rock,I may improve my physical strength and accomplish the feat.....There are many things in life that are impossible.

@simone10 Thanks.Things beyond reason are impossible.The adage tells us that nothing within reason is impossible.

@else34 I agree with you. There are both impossible and possible things in life.

For one thing, it is stupid to go against eternal laws. Karma is part of the eternal law. We cannot do bad things all our lives, and still except happiness and peace. It is impossible. We can only reap what we have sowed.

@scheng1,Yes,doing bad things and expecting good ones in turn amounts to expecting what is impossible.One always gets bad results out of bad deeds one does.In other words,bad deeds yielding good results and the vice versa is impossible.....But here impossible exists.Doesn't it?

If someone really believes in something and passionately wants to do it, they can most likely find a way to achieve it. That does have to be within reason though. If I said I wanted to learn to fly unaided by technology, I'm sure that would be impossible.

@valmnz,

And my friend asks me.'You say nothing is impossible.Well,can you lift the earth?'A question beyond reason.

We aren't a deity, so I doubt we could say with all certainty that something is impossible, we could however say it is highly improbable.

@Jessicalynnt,Yes,as @valmnz said,it should be within reason.Things without reason are impossible.

It should actually be impossible is nothing.. The Bible says so.. 'nothing is impossible for him who has faith!'

@sofssu,But would you please explain what difference would it make if we say,'impossible is nothing?'

Maybe "impossible" is a relative term. What something is possible for some may be truly impossible for others. Right now, intergalactic travel may seem impossible but who is to say it still will be a hundred years from now?
