Were borders established to harm others or to protect them?

We all have our own selves and different personalities, and we live for different reasons. But we forget that we all share the same desires: the desire to succeed. We may find our own paths to success, but what is it? Is it money, fame, power, or love? It's not important what it is specifically; what matters is that we all share the desire to live. The desire to achieve something is enough to create the strongest human bonds.
