The same fence that shuts others out shuts you in.

Summary

This quote suggests that the barriers we create to separate ourselves from others not only keep others away but also confine us within their boundaries. By isolating ourselves and building walls, we inadvertently restrict our own growth and limit our connection with the world around us. It serves as a reminder that breaking down these barriers can lead to greater opportunities, understanding, and personal fulfillment.
