A thin line
A thin line makes all the difference.
There is a thin line between kindness and rudeness- particularly when it is accompanied by silence.
There is a thin line between happiness and sadness - especially on whether the time of the event is in the past or in the present.
There is a thin line between love and hate - particularly if it is bound to hurt someone.
There is a thin line between loneliness and independence - especially when it’s forced.
There is a thin line between living and being - especially when there is a bleak surrounding.
There is a thin line between fighting and surviving - particularly when the weapon is unknown.
All but a thin line makes a world of difference - and sometimes we have to tread over it to make it things work.
But when such tests come about in life, I just remember a wise person’s saying ‘life is to be lived’.
Life is beautiful!
