Random Post #1 - Impossibility

Many people say everything is possible, as long as you have the will to do it. But such things like stapling water to a tree is indeed impossible. However, if people say nothing is impossible, how can stapling water to a tree be impossible? My friend asked me this question haha.

=MAH LOGICAL EXPLANATION=

If everything (yes, every single thing) is possible, it would mean nothing is impossible.
However, since everything is possible, the possibility of the impossible happening would be possible.
(I haven't seen reanimation of the dead though, an impossible thing)

=Layman Terms=

Everything can be happen
So, the impossible can also take place.

Therefore, to those people who say nothing is impossible.. the impossible is possible. Really though, even without this explanation, how can things like flying without the help of technology and stapling water to a tree be possible? True, stapling water traps SOME molecules, but most will flow out. The phrase 'nothing is impossible' is, after all, just another phrase to boost your self-esteem that you can do anything with hard work. I do agree though, that hard work gets you somewhere. But that alone will never allow you to do impossible things. If you jump and flap your arms from the second story off (of course sustaining injuries in the process) you'll still be unable to fly. If you constantly burnt yourself to make yourself heat-resistant, it wouldn't work either. That's just life, some things can't be done. We should all just face up to reality.
