We build roads and bridges between towns and cities, but we are not able to close the gaps between people;
We build water treatment plants to purify waste water, but we are not able to purify people’s mind;
We build miles and miles of pipeline to bring in fresh water, we still unable to wash away those memories from the past years;
We build earth retaining structures to hold back tons of soil, but a lot of times, we cannot even hold back our anger, or tears;
We build dams and costal structures to protect our coast line, but we are unable to protect those broken hearts;
We build huge parking areas to accommodate thousands of cars, how come we cannot accommodate other people’s one little mistake?
We can map out the whole city will Global Positioning System, but we still cannot map out other people’s mind;
We build traffic signal systems to allow thousands of vehicles to get through intersections safely, in an orderly manner; but we are not willing to let go with minor stuff.
We are Engineers. Also, we are Human, with Emotion.
在人生旅途上,大家不住的往前低頭疾走,向着自己的人生目標進發。每天營營役役無事忙,有沒有想過為何?有幾許會提醒自己慢下步伐,關心一下跟自己萍水相逢,或在旁邊擦身而過,或於人生交滙點有緣碰上的您?

Very inspiring piece, brother!
The outside is easy to deal with given today's technology. However, the inside is still something that remains a challenge to most of us.
