Between what is acceptable and what is not?
Is it when you do stuff that people get upset about?

Cus people get upset about all sorts of things and people disagree.


Is the line where people think you are a moron? Cus then you feel shame and guilt and you don't want to repeat that?


Is the line where people think you are a criminal?

Cus then you can go to jail and lose alot of stuff.



Practically, lets take Itachi as an example, I would say alot of people would say he crossed the line between what is ok and what is not ok.

But I honestly wasn't aware of that, and if people had not pointed it out then I would never have assumed he did.


So now I'm faced with a choice, I can 1: Agree and take a step back and say ok, maybe Itachi wasn't such a heroic character.
OR I can say that people are wrong and that he never crossed a line that was too far.

But you could talk about this for other things as well, like if a politician does something embarassing, some people who support him may say it's irrelevant.

Like it doesn't matter, and his opponents might say no he crossed a line, that's not acceptable.

So I think it's hard to tell what is ok and what is not ok.




Sometimes people take the moral highground saying you are wrong.


But sometimes other people think that moral highground is bs, so they don't care.

one thing ive learned is life isnt really black and white like that. its a lot of grey area in most cases

boundaries are important not only in psychology and sociology but in general. there are collective boundaries that we as a species consider not acceptable, thats usually things involving selfish behavior that impacts another in a negative way (rape, murder, pedophilia, etc.)

then there are individual boundaries that vary between people for their own emotional well being. thats a wide range that depends on the individual but most of us understand the collective boundaries and our own individual boundaries. people that dont usually understand these are sociopaths or narcissist

so figuring out the personal boundaries of someone just takes getting to know them. collective boundaries have been made apparent to all of us by society, should be obvious
