The document contrasts being "above the line" with being "below the line" and discusses the consequences of each. Being above the line means choosing right over wrong, acting with honor, kindness and respect, which will lead to success and respect from others. In contrast, being below the line involves choosing wrong over right, dishonest or abusive behaviors, which will result in failure, loneliness and losing people's respect. The document provides examples like helping the homeless represents being above the line while stealing represents being below the line.

7. HELPING THE HOMELESS
• Helping the needy is one example of being above the line. Your reputation for kindness
might reward you with gifts later on in life.

cruel, and should be stopped immediately.

9. DONATING TO CHARITIES
• Donating to others in need, such as children in Africa, can say a lot about you. This act of
kindness reveals that you are willing to make a sacrifice for others.

All this is proved with your act of robbery.
