Lines

Lines are an artificial construct. There are no lines in nature, only edges. We create lines in our minds as tools to judge things. "This thing is on the left side of the line and that thing is on the right side of the line." If you think you see a line in nature, look closer, it's not really there. What you see is the boundary, the interface, the place where planes change direction. There are no lines in nature, only edges. There are however lines in our minds. We have created them there to separate the good from the bad, the right from the wrong, the dark from the light...but then, what about grey?

These mental lines that we have constructed, to do their job they must be sharp. Razor sharp. With the help of reason we can use these lines to chart our understanding of things. Be careful, though. You wouldn't want to slice your mind open with one of those razor sharp mind-lines, would you? Your thoughts might start spilling out and, without lines to help you catagorize these ideas, you might misjudge them, and we all know where that can lead.
