I know an art teacher who is of the opinion that, contrary to my coloring books, people do not have lines around them. HA!
You may not be able to see it with the naked eye, but about three feet outside my physical body, there is a line. If a living creature crosses that line uninvited, I begin to get very uncomfortable. Given an opportunity, I will retreat to re-establish the line. In my world there are lines and some of them not meant to be crossed.
Enter ironic plot twist. Just as I was about to join the ranks of those who see no difference between the truth; the whole truth; and nothing but the truth---boom! It becomes my vocational duty to employ my natural talent for truth sculpting and hair splitting. So far I have escaped unscathed. Nevertheless, I know the day is coming when the need to “turn a blind eye” and “work the system” will come calling once again.
Where do I draw the line between serving others and enabling their appetites?
