New Moon-Edward’s undying love for Bella, Jacob-who loves Bella but can’t have her, and Bella who loves Jacob, not quite the same as she does to Edward. And there was this line that Jacob said to Bella “you’re about to cross the line” and she says “then don’t draw one”. This got me thinking, more often than not, we human beings draw lines, or boundaries, to what we are expected to stay within. But who draws the lines? Who creates them? Ourselves or others? And more importantly, what drives us to create those boundaries? Morals, or ethics? If we say moral, what are they based on? society or culture or what? If we say ethics, how are they developed in the first place? Lastly, do we ourselves, who have the boundaries drawn within, strive to keep ourselves from crossing the lines?
Some people say, rules are meant to be broken. Similarly, lines or boundaries are made to be crossed. But when we cross them, do we risk provoking the fragility of life? People may or may not have these answers. Or they may respond differently towards life due to different outlooks.
Isn’t it ever the best to NOT draw any lines at all? If they are meant to be crossed, why draw them in the first place, corrupting our hearts and minds? Isn’t it better to live life the way you want it, leaving judgmental idiots behind? Won’t we all want to live our life to the fullest without limitation? Isn’t there a saying that “the sky is the limit”?
I firmly believe that if we preserve the fragility of life, we forget how to live. Life is once, embrace it. Have no fear in your beliefs, for they take you higher. If you don’t want to cross the line, then don’t draw one…
