“The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.”
Jim Rohn
Life is like a boomerang, in fact, almost every single thing we do in life always have a boomerang effect (pay back). You receive the returns of your deeds in the same coin that you gave it out to others, and every action has advantages, as well as disadvantages. Therefore, sometimes when you try to restrict people from getting to you in other not to cause you harm, pain, or sadness, you are in one way or the other also restricting those who will bring you joy, bliss, and laughter. The walls that you build to shut out sadness also shut out joy because it is a wall, it shuts out everything, not a sieve that allows some and restrict the others.
The world does not become better by erecting walls, rather it becomes better by building bridges. When we build bridges, we make the world smaller, we bring people closer, we propagate joy, and extend peace, but when we erect walls, we breed discord, we increase tension, and limit ourselves to within our walls. These walls are not necessarily physical but mental. The diversity of the human race is not to separate us from each other thereby making us weak, rather it is to be harnessed, and synergised to strengthen us as one.
We must seek to understand each other more, we must seek to know and explore what binds us together, rather than what separates us, we must see our similarities before our differences. Without these, building bridges may be difficult. Bridges are built on firm grounds over weak grounds or water, not on weak grounds or water. In building bridges you must establish firm readiness for collaboration and unity, and willingness for sustenance, else your efforts will go down the drain.
If you really want to be happy, we must be open, flexible, and careful, we must study carefully those around us and know those who deserve to be let into our inner space, and those that need to be shut out. A tree does not make a forest, we cannot make for ourselves all we need to live a full, and happy life. We must associate, but with the right people, we must build bridges that allows the right people into our lives, not just anybody. Build more bridges not walls.
