MIND THE GAP
MIND THE GAP
Mind;-Consciousness, to be worried or hurt by; feel strongly about.
Gap;- Opening, empty space between things, interval, interruption
Mind the gap, is a way of saying “ pay attention to the gulf between” in particular to be aware of the divisions which exist in the world between poverty and privilege, between ignorance and knowledge, between deprivation and opportunity. Mind the gap, is a way of saying how much we care, we feel strongly about, we are willing to take some responsibility for the effect that our lives are having on those on the other sides of the divides. A recognition that there is no security for us when our neighbour is in need. Mind the gap is a way of saying that we are hurt by the continuation of obsolete practices to the advantage of the few. Hurt by the accident of history that is the interruption of the natural process of growth and improvement and its replacement by economic bondage.
