The walls come tumbling down

This may be radical, but I’m for building more walls. I’ve done no research, so am just using my logic, but I think the original purpose of a wall was to support a roof that protected our ancestors from the elements. They were duplicating a cave. I imagine they started with a lean-to, and worked up to three walls. Then they figured out a rock or animal skin could cover a doorway in the fourth, making things nice and cozy.

So, from my analysis, let us indeed build walls in Mexico City, Houston, Puerto Rico, California, in war torn places around the globe, and for the homeless. Maybe if we work together to provide our fellow human beings with protection from the elements, we will tear down the walls of we vs. them. Maybe we will realize that even though we may work hard, our own walls are all fleeting. Perhaps by building walls, walls may come tumbling down.
