If there are two sides to a fence, what side of the fence should you be on?
I would sit on the fence and observe both sides of the fence and then and only then would I choose the side that is greener.
Is the fence keeping others out or you in?
I do not want to be fenced in and the fence is keeping everyone apart, so we need to build that bridge to get over our differences.
Should you take up an offensive or defensive position?
As Nicky said "A good defense is a good offense"
If you can build a bridge, is the fence necessary?
The answer would generally be yes, because while you still have the fence in place, both sides would be able to build a bridge between them. Once the bridge has been built, the fence can come down in time.
