Blurred Lines

Unclear moral distinctions

Blurred lines are boundaries that have become unclear or indistinct, making it difficult to distinguish between categories, roles, or moral positions.

The phrase suggests ambiguity where there was once clarity: The blurred lines between work and personal life make it hard to disconnect.

Often implies ethical gray areas or situations where right and wrong aren't easily separated.
