Oh How Destructive Building Walls Can Be
by Evan Sanders
"Before I built a wall I'd ask to know, what I was walling in or walling out?" - Mr. Robert Frost
When you ask people about walls and what they are good at, they will usually answer somewhere along the lines of, "They are good at keeping things out."
But if you ask what else they are good for doing, you wouldn't believe the dead silence that would come your way.
Thinking. Thinking. Thinking. Uh...Alright so I'll give it to you. As good as walls are for keeping things out, they also do a damn good job of keeping things in. Ahhhh. Yes.
And this is where the trouble is. This is where we get into a TON of trouble. You see, we build walls for many reasons: fear, doubt, anxiety and think that they will protect us from pain. Every single time something painful happens in our lives we continue to build higher and higher walls so they they almost become indestructible.
When you build walls to keep everything away from you, you hide your gifts inside your own personal little prison where no one else can see them. In fact, you are hiding your true self away from the world.
It gets worse. Since you didn't build any doors...because why would you ever want to give the negative emotions a weak spot in the wall to exploit, you've failed to create any form of fire escape.
As life would have it, it loves to create a little bit of chaos once you think you are safe. It will find its way into your "protected" zone and start a few fires here and there. Then, since you have no escape, you will watch everything burn straight to the ground.
Walls are bad for you. They can truly hurt you.
When you shut yourself off from experience life in its fullest and everything that the world has to offer you aren't really living. You're just having an experience of surviving. You're doing whatever it takes to get by but not really out there in the world thriving.
The very walls that you think are protecting you are actually hurting you. They are trapping everything positive inside of you and making you numb. The only way is to let everything out and to experience life in its fullest.
They will never come out when you are living safe inside of your comfort zone.
If you want to have an amazing experience living in this world, you have to tear down the walls.
Scary? Yes of course. But 10 times out of 10 I would rather be on the field of life living than stuck in my own mental prison dying.
Tear down the walls. Take a risk.
