Is it the finite idea of infinity being endless or is the being of infinity showing us that finite is less of infinity? In simpler terms: Is the idea of infinity the finite idea of infinity?
I know this might seem like a trick question, but please try to understand this is the best, and most accurate way I was capable of describing. If you feel made a grammar mistake; please keep to yourself, and just answer what your best judgment thinks: DON'T HAVE TO READ THIS!
Very interesting points here. But it seems people are getting very confused by what I am trying to say. If the we say the idea of infinity is endless then that it self would require infinite though, but as we can only perceive the finite it would appear to us that infinite is endless. Is the idea of infinity being endless just a finite idea, and if that idea is false- what is you conclusion?
 
Here's how i am reading your question: Since anything we can conceptualize, meaning anything we can make a concept of, is by nature limited since all our concepts are limited, finite, our concept of infinite must therefore also be in reality finite.

If my reading is correct then you're asking about the nature of concepts and how we can conceptualize infinite. To answer your question we would need examine the nature of concepts and then go on to explore the nature of infinite. Before i do all that work tell me if my reading is correct....
