Like time they're an artificial human construct that totally defines our lives. It's sad that borders, whether geographical, religious, or social have been used for centuries as excuses for violence....they're convieniant for the 'us vs them' mentality that humans seem to enjoy so much. I find it interesting that these borders, which we often use to define ourselves, are imposed on us without our control(for the most part).... I didn't choose to be born as a Canadian, but because of the location of my hospital I'm required to follow Canada's laws and can enjoy Canadian health care and other perks. Talk about luck of the draw.... True dat. Like time they’re an artificial human construct that totally defines our lives.
