Ever been told by someone that something is impossible? Well yea, for me at least. Countless times in fact but is impossible being used to often? Impossible means that something cannot be done, not capable of being true and can never happen.
Let me create some instances,
Situation A – Person A didn’t study for the test and his friend told him it was impossible for him to pass. However, not studying for a test doesn’t mean that one cannot pass. His friend should have told him that it was improbable for him to pass since he didn’t study for it.
Situation B – Person B wants to turn back time because he didn’t do something which he wanted to do. That’s impossible as there is no way to turn back time.
Situation C – Person C likes a girl whom he shouldn’t like for whatever. His friends all tell him to give up and that’s impossible for them to be together however in this case the word which should have been used should be improbable.
Anyway the word impossible is being used too easily. There is a lot more than meets the eye. Impossible is a strong word with good effect. When used on a weak-willed person they will naturally accept it as fact and move on. Especially when impossible is used in a group/click against a person it creates cognitive dissonance within the person because the ideas of the others in some way or another create an alternate idea inside the persons head which make him have two clashing ideas.
Factual things which are impossible are and will remain impossible. However when it comes to affairs of the heart I strongly believe that there is no such thing as impossible, at most only improbable because people are alive and emotions can be developed/changed with every passing moment.
