Build Your Own Bridge First

I am building bridges as hard and as fast as I can, not seeing that my own bridge is burning until there is nothing left, so I have to begin again, and be much smarter this time. Build your bridges, but be careful. Make sure yours is on a trust strong foundation, so you can unite and link with others, and we can uplift each other. Building bridges was something we all understood prior to our arrival. To preserve ourselves, and to retain our good natures and maintain our uplifted personality, we have to build them for none of us are islands. But only in the rarest of instances when the bridge has been so caustic and mean and unwilling to listen, should you consider tearing up a bridge. Of course, you must run out of all viable choices before you light a fire onto another's bridge. Throw a boat out with a long tow rope, just in case they change their mind and decide to come around later, for a bridge is a savings place and saving is why we are here.
