Burning Bridges

There are many wonders of the world. Some may argue that there are on 9, but I beg to different. Some things in this world make you think more in-depth about how mankind exist and the intellectual prowess of human beings. One of the most interesting structural wonders to me is Bridges.

Bridges, like people, come in all different shapes and sizes. Some of them are short, some of them are long. Some of them were constructed in days, or weeks. Some of them may have taken years or even a decade to design and construct. But, Bridges represent an important key to this life. Bridges allow all of us to navigate across other bodies of land, bodies of water and/or other Bridges to get from one destination to another. As a kid, I use to be terrified of Bridges. Who am I kidding, there are still some Bridges that make me feel a little queasy. However, I respect Bridges for what they are and the significance of there existence.

But, no matter how strong a Bridge may be there are elements out there like: wind, water and fire, that can bring even the most amazing Bridge to its demise. In a more human sense, I believe we have to be cognizant of the Bridges, otherwise knows as relationships we build between one another. Depending on the strength, or the lack thereof, of the Bridge between people; the fire of a disagreement, betrayal, dishonesty and or disloyalty can Burn a Bridge to the ground. The Bridges we construct between each other are just as important as the ones we drive on daily. And just as with the structure we drive on, we have to be careful not to Burn Bridges we have between one another. Burning Bridges eventually lead you to dead ends. If you feel like because you have used your Bridge (relationship) to successfully get to where you need to be and you don't need it anymore; I warn/caution you to be careful and think hard about the decision to continue Burning Bridges. The Bridges of the world may be rebuilt but some Bridges between individuals, once they start Burning or are Burned----no matter what you do, they can never be re-constructed.
