Potential and the Limiting Mind-

"They'd altered what rabbits do naturally because they thought they could do better...You say buck rabbits don't dig...But they could if they wanted to. Suppose we had deep, comfortable burrows to sleep in? ...And there's nothing to stop us from having them, except that buck rabbits won't dig. Not can't--won't."

Blackberry, Richard Adams – Watership Down

Hey, thanks for the comment on my poem; I didn't even realize I was doing an iambic pentameter when I was doing that...we just took that up last semester, and I already forgot how it works. Anyway, thanks.
