Limited Edition

Ever notice how you and others tend to place immediate value on a painting that is a limited edition?

In our thought processes, we understand that there are limits on things and because they are limited, they have value to us.

"When that book is sold, there will not be any more copies printed."

"Buy it while you can."

The human mind is unique in that it can co-relate limits with our inherent sense of value.

At the same time, we are able to find ways to extend something that has limits. Our creative genius kicks into action and begins to function in a way that tries to take limits off things.

We don't really want anything to have limits and thus, we instinctively seek to take the limits off things by making copies of them, in one way or another.

Apply that same kind of principle to people.

"You are a limited edition."

"You are an unlimited edition."

One wonders which people we should value the most. Do we tend to place more value on those who are able to procreate and thus extend their limits? More and more children are born. Family trees get larger and larger. Family values, good and bad, are passed on.

Do we value family members who are limited editions?

Perhaps the unlimited edition is so perfect, it should be extended forever.

Maybe the limited edition was imperfect, at best, right from the beginning and thus there is no point in continuing it any further. Could it be that the limited edition has reached the peak of perfection?

Who knows?

Looking at those around you, remind yourself that there are limits on everything and everyone. Because there are limits, treasure everyone equally. Enjoy them while you can. Love them.

See yourself as having value, being of worth, whether you are part of the limited edition, or the unlimited edition.

You are unique. You are you. You are loved.
