Not Building Walls or Burning Bridges

A master builder designs and constructs things for a reason. Regardless of the reason, the purpose of the wall is do something. Just like cars, which were built to drive; air planes that were built to fly and boats that were built to sail. Walls are no different. 

We build walls to protect, to hold up, to keep out and to prevent things that we cherish, love and care about from being tampered with, abused, broken or destroyed. We're all building walls but do we have the power to tear them down? 

We build walls to protect us emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Using them to hide our inner thoughts and feelings, suppressing our opinions and closing off our dreams. People say that the walls they build are to protect their emotions, to ensure that they aren't  being used, abused and taken for granted. But we live in a world, a country, a society that thrives off of survival of the fittest. There's no room for emotions which is why we build walls so we have control. 

We live in world in which people are trapped in the walls they've built. These walls don't allow us to be vulnerable or able to give ourselves fully to anyone or anything. We have not only blocked out the bad, but we also block out God. Building walls around us prevents us for emotionally, mentally and spiritually connecting to others, ourselves and God. Building walls takes more courage and strength to be able to tear them down when the time is right.
