All of our lives we have been putting something or ourselves in the line of fire. Why do we keep doing this? Well we do it for many different reasons. We do it for our country or our families or even the towns that we live in. We will put ourselves in the line of fire for our girl or boyfriends. We might even end up in this situation at our schools just by being there.

If you would look at your history books you would find out that we have been doing this since the beginning of time. The cave men would do this every time they stepped out of their caves to go after their food. They had a deal with some pretty big creatures that would look at them as so to say lunch. Even they had fights about territories, or they had to fight for their families or their way of life. They would have to fight off other clans that would try to take what they thought was theirs.

After the cavemen then there were all kinds of battles for many different things. There were religious wars and wars for power and wealth. We have put ourselves in the line of fire for even our kinds of music, or the way we dress and sometimes for no other reason but because of the color of our skin.

It used to be just men that would put themselves in the line of fire, but today we women are also putting ourselves into the line of fire. It used to be that if women got into a fight, it wasn't considered anything but a fight. It wasn't even thought of that a woman would be putting herself in the line of fire, but she was more than sometimes a man. She was the one that was fighting for the rights of her children to go to school or where this child was to go to school the men, were doing the same things but in different situations.

Every one of us has, in one way or another, put ourselves in the line of fire. We do it from the time we get up in the morning to the time we get home at night. We do it when we go to work and try to defend the job that we do for this employer. If his parts are made wrong you might be put in the line of fire to defend those parts that you made to prove that you didn't make it wrong. Every time you open your mouth to defend yourself against something you are putting yourself in the line of fire.
