A story to reflect, for sure. It made me think of Robert Frost's Mendign Walls

There where it is we do not need the wall:
He is all pine and I am apple orchard.
My apple trees will never get across
And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.
He only says, "Good fences make good neighbours."

Reagardless of our idea of "bother", "interfere", or "messing up", walls or fences remind us of the limit or distance we should always keep between us. Often times, in the name of fraternal love and the oneness that should characterize all human interactions, we try to foster borderless spaces, but that does not seem to work well with human wiring.

Before I built a wall I'd ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offence.
Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That wants it down." ...

We know we may be isolating ourselves, depriving ourselves from learning from and helping others, and yet...

And he likes having thought of it so well
He says again, "Good fences make good neighbours."
