There are always lines that should never be crossed. It is like when a helicopter flies around the Himalayas, however, becoming lost by taking a wrong route, but decides to travel further. This will only make the situation worse, as it lowers the possibility of returning to the original route. The pilot has crossed the line, which means he can no longer turn back to find his home.
