Years go by and everyone just assumes the bridge is strong and safe.
Then one day, during a blustery, windy afternoon, it begins to sway. Weakened from its long since forgotten damage, it collapses while as you're crossing. Our relationships are really very similar to this hypothetical bridge. Many times we just want to move on and forget the conflict we just had with our partner. If you don't, the seemingly tiny fractures add to the other tiny fractures, slowly but surely weakening our bridge.
