All In All It’s Not Just Another Brick In The Wall

“Another Brick in the Wall” is a three-part composition written by bassist Roger Waters on Pink Floyd’s 1979 double album “The Wall”.

In “Another Brick in the Wall – Part 2” there is a line:

“All In All It’s Just Another Brick In The Wall”

This blog article that I have written today draws reference to that line, but does not relate in any way, shape, or form to the theme of these tracks on the album, which reference Waters’ views on his formal education, particularly the Cambridgeshire School for Boys.

My use of the line, with the addition of the word NOT, is in reference to the attached photo of a perimeter wall in suburban St Ives in Sydney that certainly appears to have lacked sufficient preparation and specific standards.

To me, a wall needs to be more than just a collection of bricks.

The picture shows a wall that has moved and separated considerably due to shallow foundations, and also due to lack of integration of brickwork between the higher pillars and the lower connecting parts of the wall.

To put it simply, this wall is A DOG’S BREAKFAST.

It’s a disgrace, and it needs to be ripped down and rebuilt properly, with adequate foundations and with integrity of all parts.

“Why Is it So?”

You have to ask the question as to how this wall got to be built in this state?

Did the builder short-change the homeowner and just build something that looked good on day one [payday] but was never going to last?

Who certified the works?

I know when I built a perimeter wall at my Sydney home in 2002, my neighbours who inspected the depths of my footings asked me what exactly I was building, because the footings for the fence were so deep!!

This fence here in St Ives looks to have been built with no footings at all, and in fact the separation of parts shown in the photographs suggests a very dodgy build in the first place, that’s for sure.

You’d have to wonder…

You’d have to wonder whether the homeowners had any idea on how INADEQUATE their fence construction was.

Frankly, with the separation of parts, it looks as though a strong wind will blow the poor old fence over.

In life and in business…

This fence is a metaphor.

In life and in business, there will always be SHONKY PEOPLE ready to take advantage of any unsuspecting “wood duck” who is willing to “trust” a person [or a tradesman] on face value…

And there are plenty of shonky people who will target the naïve.

Because they can.

And they believe that it is their God given right to do so.

To target the naïve.

Others of us have values.

And would never look to take advantage of the gullible.

But there will always be those parasites in society, who prey on the weak, the uneducated, and the trusters.

In life, and in business, you do need to have your radar up.

Because when you drop your guard, when you least suspect it, when you open your trust, you will become a victim to the unscrupulous.
