A conversation before a fence goes up doesn’t mean the end of future conversations with the person on the other side…but a conversation before a fence is taken down doesn’t guarantee conversations will continue either.
Before you put up a fence, first ask what you might miss if you can’t see or get to the other side.
Before you tear down a fence, you should think about the benefits of losing security and privacy.
Fence or no fence, think about how conversations can quickly put you on the offense or defense if you don’t consider what happens next.
