The phrase that bridges have to be built between people and not walls has now become a cliche and everybody uses it ad nauseum. But I feel different. I believe building bridges across relationships won't bring people together; because a bridge always keeps two shores apart from each other just like a wall. The only consolation is that there is communication between two shores which is not possible thru a wall.
“ What is the feeling when you're driving away from people, and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? It's the too huge world vaulting us, and it's goodbye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.” -- Jack Kerouac (American Poet and Novelist) From what I have seen and admired in humans, they are eternal optimists. Goodbyes seem to break us, but we straighten up and walk, holding our head high, blinking away our tears. And as regards the specks of people dispersing, when something moves away, something else comes near. Guess that's how laws of nature move. If a time comes when nothing else comes near, it's when we will become really alone; alone to live and love life without any reason, taking the next step forward.
