Where Is The Line?

We've all heard the phrase "Life is a great balancing act". This is true in many different instances. One of the things that I think can be hard to balance is when to speak and what to say when you speak.

Sometimes I say things and I later wish that I hadn't. Sometimes I don't say anything and I later wish that I had. There is a fine line there that is hard to see. Unfortunately, I think one of the only ways we are able to see where that fine line is, is by crossing it. Only then do you know that you have tripped the wire and caused an explosion. Also unfortunately, the only way to try to go back is to re-cross the very line that caused the problem in the first place.

This is one of the many things we learn through experience. Over time the line may become more and more clear to us. Or maybe it doesn't, but we just stay out of the area so as not to cross it by mistake (which happens all the time). Either way, we learn from it, and hopefully we become better because of it. That's all we can ask for when we make mistakes, right?

So, we do our best. And if it really is our best then it will all work out in the end. At least that's what I believe.

So true! Another problem is that if we never cross that line we might not be staying close enough to it... It seems that sometimes being right next to the line is the best place to be, but walk softly!

Sometimes what is said needed to be said and it all depends on who you ask if a line has been crossed or not. If you know for yourself what you said was correct or you believe what you said there is no reason to wonder if you did something wrong by using your voice and standing firm in what you believe. I am a firm believer in using your voice there is great power there:)
