Requiring the Impossible

Unbelieveable what a little perseverence on Yahoo chat will get you... Maan! why do I get all the suckers? Not that I'm complaining... sure keeps livening up my day.

Here is another, hot off the oven. As usual, out of respect for the poor soul, the name has been witheld.

Name_Witheld: mind chatting with an indian guy from the US?
Obliv[+]ion: dont know yet
Name_Witheld: well said
Name_Witheld: liked ur reply
Obliv[+]ion: patronizing
Name_Witheld: probably not
Obliv[+]ion: very
Name_Witheld: just appreciated
Name_Witheld: Bengali, surely?
Obliv[+]ion: presumptuous too
Name_Witheld: ya...in this case
Name_Witheld: so what u do?
Obliv[+]ion: curious as well
Name_Witheld: studying behavior?
Obliv[+]ion: assumptive…
Name_Witheld: was about to say your reply wd be "inquisitive", or "curious"
Name_Witheld: tonight here is beautiful
Obliv[+]ion: finally
Name_Witheld: finally? that wasn’t a word describing character...
Obliv[+]ion: finally a normal sentence not indicative of mental baggage
Name_Witheld: but the sentence still full of some mental assessment
Obliv[+]ion: please only say what u understand
Name_Witheld: well i said what i understand
Obliv[+]ion: did i say u did not?
Name_Witheld: indirectly u wanted to mean that
Obliv[+]ion: that is in your mind, not mine
Name_Witheld: well can you tell me then what u wanted to mean by the sentence "please only say what u understand"
Obliv[+]ion: exactly what it says. It does not judge what u already said.
Name_Witheld: a sentence without any meaning
Obliv[+]ion: then, sadly, your education requires completion.
Name_Witheld: education can never attain completion
Obliv[+]ion: that does not stop it from requiring it
Name_Witheld: u r contradicting what u said
Obliv[+]ion: no, u do not appreciate the difference between what is required and what is possible
Name_Witheld: u just said "it requires completion"
Obliv[+]ion: correct
Name_Witheld: this is an indication of achieving a particular level, beyond which it can not go
Name_Witheld: i am objecting that particular notion
Obliv[+]ion: no. physics requires all matter to attain the same energy level. never happens
Name_Witheld: what does the analogy stands for, in this respect?
Obliv[+]ion: that “requires” is not the same thing as “possible”
Obliv[+]ion: so if something is impossible
Obliv[+]ion: that does not preclude the requirement
Obliv[+]ion: that it be possible
Name_Witheld: who said something is impossible? it’s only a limitation of knowledge acquired so far
Obliv[+]ion: do u understand the word "never"?
Name_Witheld: there can not be any "never"
Obliv[+]ion: See here: “Name_Witheld: education can never attain completion”
Obliv[+]ion: please say only what u understand
Name_Witheld: i will change the word to "not"
Obliv[+]ion: good. we are beginning to further your education
Name_Witheld: okay...accepted
Obliv[+]ion: then my work is done
Obliv[+]ion: have a nice life
