limits.

took a swim today. to get all the negative vibes out of my body. and I'd have to say that it worked. I should do this more often. The pool is a perfect way to feel the unbearable lightness of being. You can almost move any way you want to. It's almost like one big trampoline wherein you can jump and make poses all day and it really won't matter that you're just going up and down. I did my laps and on the other side of the pool, an 11 or 14 year old girl was being trained by her coach. The coach looked like he doesn't know anything about swimming because he didn't really look that fit. And it really bugged me that he was shouting at the girl, that she wasn't trying hard enough. That she wasn't giving her all. To get that verbal abuse at a young age? I wouldn't want my kid to go through that. I do admit that it could make the girl stronger afterwards. But it could also go the other way. anyhow, the question of the day is, if you're someone who wants to push yourself or someone else to the limits, how good is good enough? and how far is far enough? It's all subjective, i tell you. and either which way, something is bound to break.
