Quote by Rudyard Kipling, The Ballad of E

Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat;But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,When two strong men stand face to face,tho' they come from the ends of the earth!

Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shal

Summary

This quote by Rudyard Kipling suggests that, traditionally, the East and West have been seen as separate and distinct from one another, with little possibility of understanding or reconciling their differences. However, Kipling contends that when two strong individuals with different backgrounds and from opposite parts of the world come together, these divisions become irrelevant. In their shared strength and mutual respect, East and West can unite and overcome the artificial barriers that society imposes on them, challenging our notions of identity and emphasizing the power of human connection.
