A simple model.
Draw two lines as far apart from each other as you can. The line closest to you should be quite clear. Further away should be the second line; really more of a scuff mark than a line.
Here’s how you live life: when someone crosses the first line, talk to them. Explain why you’re hurt, offended, angry, etc. Open a dialogue to either push the person back over the line or move the line entirely.
Over time the first and second lines should become further apart but more distinct. I like to think that enlightenment is having one line, very close to you, and another line that people immediately step back from in apology. I think “Justice” is a world where you don’t hear any sorries because the offense is truly offensive and never occurs.
I also think that if someone crosses that second line, you should put them on or in the ground.
