Fine Lines

Fine Lines Love-Hate Good-Bad Right-Wrong Smart-Dumb Fast-Slow Short-Tall Rich-Poor Evil-Angelic Pleasure-Pain Lose-Win Peace-War Life-Death Big-Small Happy-Sad Innocent-Guilt Healthy-Emaciated Insane-Sane Homosexual-Heterosexual Empty-Full Honest-Lie Clean-dirty Democracy-Anarchy Warmhearted-Coldhearted The list could go on and on. What you think, What you say, What you do. All these should start within you. Such thin lines we all have. We walk a thin line most all of our lives. Swaying like windswept trees until the winds subside. A whoosh of wind could change the fine lines. A change in thought could change our lines. Who defines where our lines are? Does it come from deep within? Does society move our lines for us? Do these different things decide our lines? Does our age, race, ethnicity, gender, social rank, past experiences, religion, decide our lines? Do you want to move your lines, but are afraid what people may think or say? Why is my line here and others there? What happens if you cross the line? What happens when you draw the line? Why are there lines? Blinded by lines.
