I was driving home from Birmingham today and was watching the center line on the interstate. That line goes on for miles and lays straight and doesn't budge. Sometimes we cross that line with no immediate consequences. We often veer over and realize what we have done and correct our mistake.
Crossing that line when another vehicle is there is a different story. The consequences are usually fast and violent. If we become "lax" and cross the line over and over eventually we will pay the price. I was thinking how there is a line in all we do. Getting people to understand that in all things there is a standard and a line where what is right and what is wrong is clearly understandable seems to be getting harder and harder.
Crossing the line has become standard and accepted in most cases. The new attitude is if no one is harmed or even stronger if no one finds out then it is not really wrong. It is just as wrong as if we slammed into an eighteen wheeler. There is a standard , there are rules, and there is a line. Our young have to be taught and modeled this! Self respect is learned through knowing where the line is and staying on "your" side! Have a good one!
