Paul and Larissa discuss and try to re-evaluate what is a boundary in relationships that is healthy? In our modern times, we've gotten really good about not letting anyone 'trigger' our emotions about any given topic or situation. Most have figured out how to cut people out if the relationship feels strained, or there is not a lot of common ground. However, there is some risk when we live this way in our communities. Have we gotten walled in? What is a healthy boundary and what is putting up walls of our hearts? Can we possibly figure out how to live amongst each other, with all kinds of ways of life, and opinions and not cut out people that don't think like us? Is it possible to manage your own emotions and not blame others for how you feel when what they say or do feels offensive? What if that offense is not really about you at all, but all about your perception?

Living this way, will require we learn how to be discerners in all ways-discerners of what is our own troublesome heart and what is someone actually causing harm. We invite you to consider allowing a larger influence of people in your life. You don't have to agree with everyone or everything, in fact we probably never will, but living walled in and in our safe bubbles of influence, may actually cause more harm to us as individuals, and as a whole in society if we don't learn how to consider all people.

This is a very individualist journey, and you must decide for yourself how you will live amongst others, but we hope this brings some light and ideas that may challenge you to be more open and accepting of all kinds of ideas, opinions, lifestyles and perspectives. The goal always is to have peace in your own heart and live at peace with others, as long as all parties want that same objective in the relationship, and will do what they can to contribute peace and extend understanding.
