Every human being has the ability to break free from human limitations place on us by living in a sin cursed earth through no fault of God. That computer to me represents earthly limitations. Becoming one with God through Christ Jesus will let us soar in this life and the life to come. 2 Cor 5: 17 If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation." (free from human limitation)

Apr 9, 2012 - i thought it had two meaningsthe first was sometimes your heldback for a reason. maybe your too young, you'll only injure yourself. you yourself will felll like their just holding you back because they don't want you to have what you want.

Apr 9, 2012 - the other is focusing solely on your dreams will only serve to keep you from them. ignoring loved ones and even basic necessities just to reach your goal will just cause damage to yourself (taking drugs so you'll be accepted into a certain business, etc.), like how the robot removed the cord so he could reach the bird, only to run out of power.

Apr 11, 2012 - You begin life, you learn new things, you make dreams and pursue them, but there will always be things holding you back, and sometimes in the process of chasing those dreams, you fail and die.

Apr 29, 2012 - All of us need to understand what it is that animates us. Separating ourselves from that which gives us life is fatal, no matter what the goal we're seeking. IMHO

Apr 30, 2012 - It's simply curiosity killed the cat. Nice short vid though, I liked it.
LightCrasher Says:
May 1, 2012 - The lesson is: Before trying to set yourself free, make sure you doing it right. In that cause "right" means "whith a portable source of energy"K.O.
