Crossed the Line

There’s certain lines you don’t cross, and when you do there’s no turning back. So you think before you speak and before you act. Out of respect for the other individual, there’s certain things you don’t say and certain things you don’t do. Disrespect and disobedience can only be tolerated for so long. One must not have a no holds barred approach to it. There are restrictions that apply. Certain things are off limits. There’s cetain boundaries you don’t cross. Stay in pocket and know your role. Play your position, and let it remain as such. Guess what I’m talking about.

You don’t cross the line. You stay within bounds. You don’t go overboard. You give curiosity and pay homage. You tip your hat to the person and give thanks. You don’t act like you made it on your own. You didn’t get to where you are today on your own. No way! Someone helped get you to a cetain level, from the ground up. You don’t defy or show defiance to the person. You open your ears and heart, and listen to the person attentively. Then you give your two cents respectfully. There’s no need to go into an exchange of words. It would only lead to an argument. Guess what I’m talking about.

You know you’ve crossed the line when you say hurtful things that go below the belt. You don’t tarnish the image of the individual that’s close to you. You don’t act as if the person has never done anything good for you. You remain grateful and forever indebted to the person. You show appreciation and gratitude. You don’t exhibit arrogance, disrespectfulness and stubbornness. You exhibit humbleness and make it apparent. Don’t go down the wrong path of bumping heads with the very person that has shown you nothing but love, did good to you and always tried to work things out with you. When you have exhausted the person, you will soon see no more of that. Like the wind, it will quickly pass and vanish. Be careful of the path you’re treading on. Guess what I’m talking about.

Don’t keep crossing the line and think it’s not gonna eventually get dealt with. On that very day, you’ll find yourself caught with your pants down. You’ll be unable to come back from that. You’ll be living with regrets and it will torment you. You’ll get put in your place with the fastest speed. Don’t start what you can’t finish. Don’t keep barking at the person and not expect them to bark back. Life itself is the greatest teacher, so learn from it. Stop repeating the same don’ts that you have been forbidden to do. It should be like a checklist, once checked off don’t go back to it. Simple as that. You’d be surprised how difficult that is. Oh my God! You need to swallow your pride and for the sake of the respect and love you have, be submissive and cooperative with them. Guess what I’m talking about.

Being humble, respectful, courteous, submissive, obedient and slow to anger. Don’t cross the line. Don’t get out of line. Don’t do what you have been forbidden to do. Bottomline! Don’t cross the line. Try and make good, so that peace can prevail. Don’t be troublesome by nature. Unlearn that behavior. Don’t be fond of wanting to partake in confrontation or provocation. Don’t keep trying someone’s patience and expect them not to lose it. One day they eventually will. Guess what I’m talking about.

Don’t step on any toes. Don’t cross the line! Learn from the mistakes of the past and take them as lessons. Once you figure out what’s causing the continuous beef with the person you’re close to, you can put an end to the beef. Once you realize what you’re doing wrong and cut it out, it can be resolved. But until you can come to terms with what you’re wrong and make a decision to stop it, the beef will never end. So be ready to beef all the time, but such a person will not tolerate what you put him through unless he’s a fool. Stop crossing the line. If you don’t, you’ll find yourself going over the line. That will be the end of being told to not cross the line. Final warning. Guess what I’m talking about.
