Tear Down Those Walls!

While it's true that familiarity breeds contempt, unfamiliarity also carries the same effect. When you don't acquaint yourself with a certain someone you tend to draw your own conclusions regarding that person's behavior. You could be making negative assumptions to a fairly trivial conduct. You tend to make assumptions regarding how he behaves according to what you see. Most of the times, however, what you see is not what is. What you see may be an act he puts on to hide something else. What you see may just be his countenance at that particular time, but the real person may be lurking in the midst.

It's difficult to understand your own self, let alone understanding someone else. Sometimes circumstances make you do things that you should not have done or would not have done. At times you feel threatened by a certain someone's aura so you act out in a conventional or even unconventional way. Who is to tell who is right? Who is to tell who is appropriate? What's becoming at that particular moment may not be fitting at another. In the end, a considerate person does what he needs to do in order to maintain peace and harmony in that specific milieu.

People build walls to protect themselves and to limit their boundaries. Some walls are built consciously and other unconsciously to guard themselves against the adversities that they faced. Whatever it is, ultimately, however, walls needed to be torn down in order that humanity may flourish. Eventually, the individual will realize the destructive attributes of walls and gradually try to tear them down. Man cannot live alone. We need companions in order to lead happy and fulfilling lives. We certainly do not need walls to block us out of each others' lives. Walls are to be dissolved. Let no one be asunder.
