Why limit ourselves?

Seriously, I think humans find every opportunity available to impose inhibitions on ourselves. Whether it is concerns over what people around us think, or simply motivations born out of a more basic instinct of self-protection or preservation.

I'm not saying we should throw all cares out and run amok doing whatever we want. It just grates me when such inhibitions happen at times when what is really necessary is a willingness to "bite the bullet and just do it." Be it in our private lives i.e. instead of worrying if the price is going to drop further tomorrow or by end of the year, just go ahead and make the purchase after having done your research that it is worth it.

In another instance, why limit ourselves to using obsolete technology under the excuse that it is secure when it is obviously so lacking in capabilities and applications! Of course it's secure... cos it's so obsolete that no one bothers to use it, much less try to hack it!! Technology is flying at warp speeds these days and it just peeves me to no end when people stops you from moving along with it just because they are set in their comfort zone and wishes to exert the bare minimal effort to adapt.

Dinosaurs are supposed to be extinct!!
