Where do you draw the line?

Where do you draw the line? I'm sure you have done something that you wish you had not, something you probably still do. Something that if only you had never started, you could imagine that even now you would not have begun to do it. But now you are stuck. You try and try and try to quit but find yourself finding one reason after another to do it again. You should have drawn the line back then, you should have told yourself that you simply would not, and could not cross that line, and that was the end of it. It would have been. Once you thought about drawing a line, then decided to cross your invisible line, you were set down a path you would struggle to find a way off of for your lifetime.
But how many others are there who have so many other lines they have yet to cross? Where do you draw the line? Where do you stop crossing lines that you never crossed before? When does your desire to do something or another take a back seat to what you know you will regret forever?
If you ever come across an invisible line, one you haven't crossed yet, or maybe even drawn across the sand yet, do yourself a favor. Learn this one lesson before you pay the tuition for the rest of your life. Don't cross it. Choose to never cross it. Not even once, not for a second. Because there is no taking it back. There is no way to ever go back and know for sure that you didn't cross the line once, not once. Not unless you never crossed it that first time.
This alone could be one of the greatest lessons in life.

Last night someone ruined my expectations of them. My respect, my ideals about their honor, their worth as a human. They ruined it pretty well. They ruined it for two beers. And five dollars. They lied, and cheated, and stole from me for five dollars and two beers. This will be recorded within the consciousness of all humankind and all beings greater than us who watch us daily. It will be forever known that this person treated another person as worthless, or at least, as worth less than two beers, and five dollars. Would you want to be the person who did that? Or the person who was treated like that? In the end, when all the universe knows about this, will it be worth those two beers, and five dollars to have disrespected a fellow being of this universe? Will it be worth it? But what are the odds he crossed this line long ago? Will he stop at two beers and five dollars? Or is this just the beginning? If he lied and cheated and stole for five dollars and two beers, what next? Will he rape? Will he kill for five dollars and two beers? Where and when will it end? Where will he draw the line? Or is it already too late, already over? Obviously two beers and five dollars are not enough for me to lie, cheat and steal for. No, I'd have to lie, cheat, and steal for much, much more. If I'm going to lie, cheat and steal, its for the big money. Like a thousand trillion dollars. But how many people will I lie to? How many people will I cheat? How many people will I steal from? In the end, everyone I meet, and most importantly my first victim, myself.
