A great saint has said,” Refrain from constructing a wall and opt for erecting a bridge. “From this saying, we can learn many features for soothing our life journey. Undoubtedly there is no peace moments all the time in man’s life. Clockwise or anticlockwise we have to hate the signals of life that we love sometimes. We do eat our food but to a certain limit. After that we have to say no to our food. This is natural phenomenon. Anything in excess means frustration. Building a wall means no chance of fraternity, instead if we can erect a bridge from our side to the opposite side, then we may not have to long for journey all the time but needed we can cross the bridge and solicit help.
Our intentions of taming the mind should be no for now and forever. This think process will prevent us fervent us for breaking the friendship and on a harsh mood constructing a wall. Wall is not a protection but distancing forever. Wall also suggests that there is no possibility of meeting point. The nature has got ups and downs. May be in future we may need help but due to our angry mood we have designed a dead end which in a polish manner is a wall.
In a wall attitude there is always a room for our need and other’s requirement thus leaving no space for fraternity by any means. It should be remembered that wall is a terminus station beyond which a relation cannot move. Hence we should always opt for bridge attitude which we may cross at times. Instead of crude enmity, we should develop a patent fraternity. All the time one should claim that he is an expert in breaking the ice, nevertheless one should keep his doors open so that the other person can see, get indications that we are willing to extend the hand of brotherhood.
In all situations, wall or bridge concept may not applicable but we should make our mind friendly by choosing bridge most of the times and wall at few times. In order to settle small frictions, we should give room for understanding on holistic patterns. Whenever anger tries to conquer our mind, we should not jump through it, for it may lead us to construct a wall, instead we should react patiently and opt for bridge to avoid future contingencies.
Man’s requirements are variable. The mood of man is unpredictable. So why go for exit mode when entry mode is facilitator.
