Conception

What is a border? Which part do borders play in human life, political borders, social, cultural, familial, borders between evil and good, even borders between worlds? How affects us a process of destruction, movement of existent borders and creation of new ones? Which borders do we need and which ones can we try to forswear? Is the destruction of borders a way to a better world or will humanity need diverse borders further? Must borders be impenetrable? Christianity has defined the boundary between saints and sinners. What if a conception of Purgatory and migration policy are similar items? And if Hell can be quitted, can Paradise be quitted too?
