1. There Is No Horizon - Buzz

Buzz Lightyear Toy Story 2 30185761 1600 1200 600x300 'To infinity and beyond.' €“ Buzz Lightyear, All Toy Story Movies.

Perhaps Buzz is trying to say how rationality is just a figment of imagination €“ that even going beyond infinity is possible. Maybe it means that we should set our sights beyond infinity and strive for things unfathomable to ones' imagination. Possibly, it could also mean that there's always further to go €“ always another mountain to climb - and there's a long way to go even after reaching infinity. It's like Buzz is trying to talk to you personally, which is what makes it so beautiful.

I'm Saahil from India and no, I don't own an elephant. I write. I think P. G. Wodehouse might just be the greatest author of all times. Manhattan was definitely Woody Allen's masterpiece (yes, over Annie Hall). The Shawshank Redemption is overrated. I love debating. I've always dreamed of shooting zombies with a sawed-off during an apocalypse. I own a dog. The Sixth Sense was a fluke. Sheldon Cooper is probably the worst TV character right now. I play table tennis. I am socially awkward. I don't know how to end this. My editor's probably going to cream me for this. But, whatever.
