Walls....

...Are built for a reason. Whether it's to protect small children from the dangers of the outside world or in turn to keep the outside world away from us.

People have a tendency to build walls, internal walls, around their hearts. We become guarded, careful, and hesitant to allow people past those walls. We do it for protection. Perhaps there's been prior hurt so in response those walls have been built. Maybe it's fear of the unknown, so we naturally want to protect ourselves from potential discomfort or pain.

So many people have become master wall builders. We see who they are up to a point, yet we don't really KNOW who they are on the inside. How do they think? What are they scared of? How would they change if those walls were somehow climbed over or knocked down?

Just a bit of food for thought....
