BUILD BRIDGES

As kids we played in the open.
There are no walls but homes you can easily run to drink water when we're thirsty.
And the biggest barriers were houses with flower hedges.
Today I see lot of walls around our houses. We've build huge concrete walls around ourselves that reinforces our attempt to be individualistic.
And the most sad aspect is that we're consciously trapped in these walls. We're trapped in tall emotional walls, unchanging attitudinal walls, unforgiving walls, materialistic walls, and in walls of selfishness, walls of greed, anger and deceit.
Yes! I agree we ought to be security conscious.
Yes! It's legitimate to protect or preserve our privacy. And it's wise to avoid troublesome people because of the pain they might cause us. But it's equally important to build bridges with people, because we need each other to live.
It's true that people might disappoint you,
People might betray you; some might envy you but it's good to keep an open window in your dealings with people, even as we try to build bridges and maintain them regularly. It's difficult to trust people but it's better to give them the benefit of the doubt that they won't do what you suspect them to be mischievously good at.
At all times have genuine concern for others. Keep an open mind of your expectation from others.
Have a good heart towards man and avoid those rigid stereotypes or prejudices we harbour against other people.
In all we do, may we understand that we're dealing with an imperfect humanity, which we're a part.
Let's therefore strive to be good to all, eschew malice and be candid while exercising a good latitude of caution in our dealings with each other.
Remain blessed as always. Good day
