Any game you play on your feet will usually tell you when you are out of bounds. For instance, if you hit a hockey puck with your stick and you are not on the ice at the same time you are probably out of bounds. wave

If we become emotionally mature, we set our own boundaries and are comfortable with our decisions.

Of course we ought to consider external information when deciding on our frontiers - setting our own boundaries doesn't give us the right to be a serial killer, nor call others names like 'sheep' if they make different decisions.

Individuality and creativity are fantastic, but social skills and going along with the crowd can be valuable skills, too.

Anything can be out of bounds eg a 2nd girlfriend...but who sets these boundaries and for who...and who adheres to them?
You are your own person after all...

People in general know right from wrong and they set their own boundaries.

If you ignore the boundaries then it's you who made the choice to go against your own boundaries.

You are in a situation where there are strict bounds, but you decide to do the opposite and you just got that urge...

No the bounds are set for a fancy restaurant...
You accidentally touch the leg of the guy next to you, who is having a fit...
Your bounds says no mistake..
His bounds feel his privacy got infringed badly...

That's when you take a hostage and slip out after setting the place on fire, duh.
Modern media has taught me that extreme violence is the solution to everything.

Thank you for that explanation.

It is an excellent example of how to use willpower to not let your urge overcome you.

I have boundaries for serious things....not to spend too much money; never cheat on my partner, never to insult people with salacious names.

I also have a boundary not to eat food made with ample amounts of sugar for health reasons.
However, I usually fail and do the opposite and have a couple donuts, or cookies or what I love the most is ice cream .sigh smitten

Some combination of the powers that be and the average man. The patrician and pleb wrestle over exactly what usual is. The upper class rule through influence and the working class rule through force of numbers. How tall is tall? Taller than the average man, the average man is the measure of all things, however, the height of the average man is itself influenced by the powers that be. The plebs are getting taller by living more like the patrician class.

But then I think there's a little bit more to it. By nature we don't have wings and that's just it. By nature you still develop diabetes by being relatively less fat than the people around you. What society says is normal is doesn't actually mean it's right or wrong.
