As a child I remember being shown a picture of Budapest my dad pointed out that the river divided the city in two and my mum pointed out that all the bridges joined the city together.

To often we use words and ideas to build walls dividing us of into ideological ghettos. How much better to build bridges for in the middle of a bridge is a place of respect where we might not entirely agree with each other but have enough common ground where we no longer wish to kill each other.

If only we built more bridges
If only we let our walls fall
Then together we onwards could travel
To a world that was safer for all.
