Fences are put in place to set boundaries, contain elements, or keep others out. They also help protect and can even be a sense of security.
Inevitably they break. We can choose to fix them or leave them broken. Repair requires time and energy and can be difficult. However, leaving it unattended, while simple for now and enabling freedom of movement, it creates a lack of structure and boundaries, and less defined clarity of who owns what and where things belong, with a potential risk of harm.
Strong relationships are clear on boundaries, responsibilities, and ownership. They can break, but if left unattended create confusion and tremendous insecurity. During work, the rewards exist when we take the time to mend them.
