When do we cross-dress the line?

 

SoI've been told recently that I push people's limits, that I act & respondwhile presuming that others are okay with what I'm saying or doing and that Idon't always know the fine line between humor and seriousness. So few daysago,I thought about getting this straight and wondered about whatreally makes that line so fine?! How come the degree of fining variesdifferently between each one and other? Aren't we the ones who draw that fineline that looks like an eye liner's line; you think it will make things looksmoother but it drains you and by the time it's lunch, you're done!

Seriously, what's the line between humor and seriousness or revenge & totaldestruction or good & bad or politically correct & incorrect or sarcasm& viciousness or use & abuse or erotic & sick or religion &myth or or or? Also when do you know that you crossed the line? What are thesigns? What if people like to be pushed off limits but they are in denial?Actually what if you indirectly enjoy pushing people off their limits? Why arewe making a big deal out of it?!

Aren't our boundaries the formula to that line? They are like a foundationcream that smooth out the face and cover spots or uneven skin coloration beforewe apply the makeup. And although everyone seems to be playing well within theboundaries of his usual rule set, don't you always need someone who leaps overboundaries, changes your nervous systems, creates a new language, transmits newkinds of joy to your startled senses and spirits?

So shall we cross-dress the line or we are not quite ready for a no makeup lifemovie?
