 Observation Paper

This weekend I watched two television shows on Netflix, one was Stan Lee’s Super Humans and the other was Heavy. Super Humans by definition are humans that have beyond ordinary skills, powers, or ability to that of a general human. The show is all about either humans that just happened to be born with genetic mutations that differ from the general human. But on the other hand some of the super humans in the show were just merely people that pushed them selves to be beyond ordinary humans. Many of the super humans in the show were merely super human all from the self discipline of their very own minds. Through intensive meditation and determination to be the things they wanted to be and to do the things they wanted to do. They are people that never saw something beyond ordinary and thought well that is impossible or I can not do that. They are the people that see the extraordinary and think what do I have to do within my self to make this a reality for me.

Heavy on the other hand is a show about extremely obese humans. That have let them selves wither away and have lost them selves within their food addictions. They are on the borderline of death, because within them selves they feel as if they are trapped or can not stop the actions they are taking. The general mentality of the obese people in the show is that they can not achieve these goals of losing weight or not gaining weight. And when they get on the show they are pushed too their personal breaking points where they continue their pattern of saying this is something I can not do. And they attempt to fail before they have even started. In a sense they are not even failures, for in order to even be a failure by definition is to attempt something and then therefore not succeed in that actions. But if one does not even attempt, then they literally can not even fail. They just do not even try, or even go for it at all.

I observed this to all be interesting because even though people that remain to stay obese in a sense are, or more I view them, to be mentally weak. But even though the people on the show at one time were, they are on that show because they are choosing to no longer be weak minded. They are choosing to change I can not do this to I can do this. The power of self motivation and the power of positive thinking is what I view to be absolutely incredible. If these super humans can define what is know to be the human tolerance point of pain, or be able to define what most would consider to be fear all from the mere power of their own minds. They over come what is thought to be impossible. If every one thought if I stab a huge needle through my own arm and it will not hurt, and be able to mentally prepare for such intensity through mediation to make the actions okay within their own ideas of logic and what is thought to be right and wrong. If everyone could look at a box and see not the box but everything it could be or is currently being. If one could erase the borderlines of the box their mind is in, and think out side those borders to not what is pain as I know it, not what is fear as I know, not what are possibilities as I know. But more what are all these meanings for me, what is my pain tolerance, my fears, my possibilities and just how far exactly can I push this tool, my body. Then maybe just then everyone, everything, could prosper.

I know for my self, that I am astonished by all of the super humans I have seen on that show. But I am also aware that I like many others, I assume, am weak minded. And I view these abilities to be out of my reach and I think in the sense of my self that I can not accomplish these things. But I do not want to be weak minded, if it is merely a matter of a state of mind to accomplish everything I view to be so desirable. Then I this I know what I must do, in order to succeed and find gratitude in my own self being. I am aware that it is only a matter of pushing the borderlines of my own mentality to what may seem extraordinary to the ordinary. All I know is that I can not, is not even a reasonable answer. I know that I am capable of all things, of being everything that any of the other idolized humans on earth are. Because I too and made up of the exact same biology. All I know is that I can do anything.
