Limit x tends to.......

Limit in mathematics is used to describe the behavior of a function as its argument tends to some value(Wikipedia). Is limit just a mathematical concept or does it have a more generic application?

What i am trying to say is that limit is not just related to numbers and functions but is very pertinent in our lives. Behavior has a limit. All arguments have a limit. Every RELATIONSHIP has a limit.

Why is there a stress on the word relationship? Is relationship not the basic block of any persons life. Every interaction in our lives, is based on some relationship or the other. When i talk to my mother, there is a relationship, similarly, when i talk with my friends, colleagues. Why, when i am attempting to buy something from someone there is a relationship of a trader - customer between us.

And is it not true that all relationships have a limit. When i talk with a friend, there are certain things that i don't talk about. Similarly when conversing with my parents, there are boundaries. But what are these boundaries or limits? Are these limits something i have put up. Or does each relationship have such boundaries? How strong are these boundaries? Is it correct for me to say that the stronger the relationship the larger the limits?

in the end, its US who define the limits or space as i would like to call it in any relationship, and that obviously depends on who is on the other side of the relationship ;) and then again, its YOU who decides how you want the relationship to be :P so in the end, its YOU who sets the limit :D

Yes true, There is something called personal space or inner circles. As long as u dont touch or cross those inner circles, U r fine. So i think that inner circle or the personal space is the limit.
This is my perception.
