Sliding doors
sliding doors at the entrance? As a person approaches the door, the motion or pressure-detecting sensors trigger the sliding of the doors. The building opens its heart as it were and welcomes you if you are coming from outside; the world outside beckons if you are leaving the building. In either case, hands free without you having to touch the door.
How uncomplicated would life be if each of us could act as sensors to help slide doors smoothly and reveal a different world for each other? A world where we do not restrain each other behind locked doors.
A world in which inhibitions are thrown away, where there is camaraderie and people discover each other. A world in which new vistas are opened, where each of us help each other without imposing any views on each other. Ultimately, every social construct should be to help a person become better versions of themselves, by helping them realise their potential.
Which is why sliding doors have also become an analogy in literature. Books are compared to sliding doors. Readers have only to walk through a sliding door of a book with imagination as their guide to become a part of the world the author has created.
Where you can walk unhindered, walk along with the author, talk as it were with the author. And when you have had enough, walk out of the sliding door by merely closing the book. Open another book and walk past the sliding door to another new world.
