W.H. Werkmeisterr had some very interesting points in his philosophy of the individual human being, but the one that stuck out to me the most and get me thinking was Werkmeister’s point pyschological potential and if we can ever reach it. Werkmeister says that, “In the case of physiological or mental growth, … it is difficult to say when any given individual has reached his limits or whether anyone ever has.” This is a good point because we can never truly know what are limits are, speaking from a psychological and mental standpoint. Throughout history man has always figured out new ways to push the limits and find out what we truly can accomplish. We have grown as a society because of our advances in technology, culture, and social standards. For society and the individual to continue to grow, we must continue to push the limits and try to do the unthinkable to hopefully reach our potential.
