Crossing the 'Line'...

     Most of us have heard the expression, 'Good fences make good neighbors'; this, phrase, which, very, simply, yet, astutely, refers to 'personal-boundaries', both, our own and those of others. Boundaries, in life, are very, important, in many, different ways, especially, those, which, protect our, personal-space, emotionally and spiritually. Some folks, have, very, well-defined parameters, in within which they live; these, folks, knowing, how best to protect and serve themselves against encroaching 'concerns, problems, and, troubles', of others, that, they cannot control. Then, there are the people who seem to have no, true, understanding of guidelines, limits, or rules, by which to live, and, are, forever, allowing others to 'trespass', or, doing same, with regard to the lives of others. Without good, strong, boundaries, we can, often, get involved in things we have no, real, business, being involved in. It seems to me that, those, most, responsible, for crossing-boundaries, into the lives of others, are, those, same, people, who haven't established healthy-borders for themselves. For, it is when we, best, understand, what we need, in life, to be happy, that, we will recognize the same, with respect to other folks. So, if you find, that, you, often, become enmeshed or entangle in the lives of those you know, believing, that, you 'have the right', based, on your 'concern' for them, to 'put your nose where it doesn't belong', perhaps, it's time to reevaluate your own, person, and assess, your personal-perimeter, as, it would seem to me, that, a healthy-hem is needed. One needn't 'fence one's self in', so to speak; However, one need be able to recognize the 'value of the verge' or, 'line of demarcation', between him/herself and others, for a happier and healthier existence.
