Build bridges, not walls from "summary" of Across That Bridge by John Lewis
The act of building bridges, rather than walls, is a fundamental principle that has the power to transcend barriers and unite individuals. By constructing bridges, we are actively engaging in the process of connection and understanding, rather than division and separation. Building bridges requires a willingness to reach out to others, to extend a hand of friendship and cooperation. It necessitates an openness to different perspectives and a commitment to finding common ground. When we choose to build bridges, we are committing ourselves to the work of reconciliation and healing. We are making a conscious decision to break down the walls of prejudice and fear that have long divided us. Building bridges requires courage and compassion, as we must be willing to listen to the experiences and voices of others, even when they differ from our own. By choosing to build bridges, we are actively participating in the process of building a more inclusive and just society. We are working towards creating a world where all individuals are valued and respected, regardless of their background or beliefs. Building bridges is not a passive act – it requires a continuous effort to reach out to others, to engage in dialogue and to work towards understanding and empathy.- The choice to build bridges, rather than walls, is a choice to embrace our shared humanity and to recognize the inherent dignity and worth of every individual. It is a commitment to creating a world where love and compassion prevail over hate and division. Building bridges is a powerful and transformative act, one that has the potential to bring about lasting change and create a more just and equitable society for all.
