about boundaries

A few things I find helpful to know about boundaries

• Boundaries are real. 
• Without boundaries, life is meaningless. It’s the limit that makes meaning. 
• Permeable boundaries, like our bodies, are necessary to create complex life forms.  
• Overstepping boundaries often starts in our personal life. For example, when we don’t respect the other enough, thinking we know better what’s suitable for the other person. We don’t. 
• We can also overstep boundaries mentally, verbally, emotionally, and physically. With the planet, we surpass them physically. We also think we know better than the planet when we try to engineer the world. We don’t. 
• Constantly overstepping boundaries is one of the main reasons for the destruction and exploitation we find in the world today.
