Beyond the perimeter

As a child i always wondered what lied beyond the fences surrounding our house. Once i knew the answer, the focus of my curiosity turned towards our locality, town, gradually to the cities & then country? A perimeter can thus be referred literally. In virtual sense, it's like a border line which if crossed causes the end of one thing & leads to something different. It's even more interesting to realize that on being related, the perimeter can be described for different things..

Perimeter of one's comfort zone, relationship, reasoning ability, trust, patience, knowledge, words, etc. The question is "What lies beyond the perimeter?" what is to happen likely when one moves out of his/her comfort zone? are relationships always meant to have limitations, restrictions, expectations & what if all of these are crossed/broken? when we trust someone, if the trust breaks once or twice we try to ignore but hope within that things won't repeat so, what results when one finds out that his/her trust & the faith kept breaking? does the perimeter gets crossed shattering trust completely? what about the words spoken, is there a perimeter beyond which, certain words are left unspoken? A person mingles mostly at ease with like-minded people, does he/she ever try to take an effort to mingle & hang around with others of diversified mindset?

Those several limitations that are created by us, thoughts & views which are governed by tradition or society, bindings of relations, insecurity, blind trust, uncertainty of decisions, trendy mindset & beliefs.. should be crossed to find out "what lies beyond the perimeter".

I still ponder & smile over the fact that my curiosities have no dead end!!

  1. Nice one... I feel it is never like "going beyond a perimeter"... It is always increasing or decreasing the perimeter... Everyday we do get a glimpse of what lies outside our perimeter... Now it depends on us if we want to extend our perimeter to include that outside part...

  2. Thanks Subhajeet! When the border line is increased, it reaches the perimeter which is itself an extention. There's no return once you step out of it b'coz the range gets wider & your world seems bigger. Most of us tend to remain within the known range & are not sure if they really want to go for the unknown!

  3. And most of us always need a push from somebody else to go for that unknown....
