To the good, it provides protection and shelter. Or even peace of mind when all we want is a break from whatever it is that’s going on on the outside.
But fences can also separate us. They keep us out. Limit our freedom and movement. Suppress and oppress us. Prevent us from finding whatever opportunity lies on the other side.
The difference between these two states of being often lies in the intentions of those responsible for the fence in the first place. Like any tool or technology or weapon, a fence is just a thing until either a warm or a cold heart decides how it should be used.
We can wish until the end of time that it’ll be used for good, but we all know the world doesn’t work that way.
