In numerous conversations throughout the past few days, boundaries and 'when to draw the line' has been a common theme. In my recent experience living in liberal America, the lack of community has been shoved into my attention. It's really sad that although 700 people were just arrested, protesting in NYC against the obvious wrong-doing of Wall Street, those 700 people were not able to come together in community and work together in a more positive way to actually achieve the results they are seeking. Individuality is such an amazing privilege that we have as US citizens but we also have to step back and begin to see the bigger picture. Instead of getting so angry with the government, we need to recognize that we allowed this to happen.......greed and selfishness took over and the results were not pretty.
Anyway, that's enough of my rant - there are other moments in life that we need to learn to draw the line, particularly in relationships and those moments where you can stand up for yourself and draw the line, or continue to be walked all over. Do I sound bitter? :o) I am not usually so having a bitter taste once in awhile is probably good for me.
Hopefully the bitter taste won't last long and I'll keep moving along. I usually do!
