Borders are often described as protection. Lines that keep danger out and safety in. But if we look closely, borders protect some while trapping or excluding others. They offer freedom to those born on one side and hardship to those on the other. In reality, a border is not only a place, but it is a decision. Someone once drew a line, and suddenly millions of lives were shaped by it. How they move, how safe they feel, how others treat them, and even how they see themselves.
We pretend borders are natural or inevitable, but they are political inventions. Goods, money, and information travel globally without barriers, while human beings are stopped by fences, visas, and suspicion. For some people, crossing a border is a simple passport check. For others, it is the reason they cannot see family, escape war, or imagine a future. Borders separate friends by rivers, generations by ideology, and strangers by fear. They decide who is welcomed and who is rejected, who is considered safe and who is seen as a threat.
