No one can know what capacities he possesses for doing, happiness or suffering, until an opportunity arises to bring them into play.
Without such opportunity, the best anyone can do is speculate. And that speculation is often times exaggerated, as almost every person wishes, hopes and dreams, or distorts the reality with other, more pessimistic ideas and beliefs.
Those preaching that human beings have unlimited capacities are both true and false at the same time. They are true in the abstract and false in practice, for in the realm of the living we all obey nature’s laws without exception.
If you want to know what you are capable of doing, don’t listen to the well-wishers or the pessimists; look for the correct opportunity to test your capacities. That will provide the only true answer.
