Understanding this quote
The “other side of the fence” represents people separated from us by a boundary or disagreement. The quote insists they are still human, not strangers without common ground. The problem is not a lack of shared humanity, but that “we haven’t learned how to talk.” Understanding may begin when we treat communication as something to develop rather than assuming separation is permanent.
