BOUNDARIES

Would our interactions with people and other living beings be easier if all our boundaries were as clear as the dividing line between the sea and the shore, just like in the photograph I chose for this article?

Perhaps we think, "It would definitely be much easier." At least, that’s what I used to believe. There were many moments when I felt that life would be less exhausting if everything were clear, definite, and unchanging. But then, I realized I was overlooking something important.

A photograph captures a frozen, still, past, and lifeless moment.

Yet, life means vitality.Life means movement.

In the dance between the sea and the shore, each incoming wave redraws that boundary.With every wave, the boundary shifts.

So, let’s take inspiration from nature and avoid being "lifeless" when it comes to our boundaries in life.

Let’s learn to expand or contract our boundaries according to circumstances and conditions.

That way, our dance with life will flow much more harmoniously.
