Hope For The Unimaginable

What hope is there for man? What is man's potential? All my life I've felt like a human raised among wolves, a good wolf, but not of the breed. I have been able to act the part but am full of unexpressed potential. Surely this is a common experience.

Man is busy being man. As mankind becomes ever more a conscious entity, as the common experience of all defines singular understandings, is there some chance that each man could start being all that he can be, and no longer just an echo of what has been? Can man break from the mold of his own conditioning?

Can one become something new without having any idea of what it is?
