      Life and Death. Yin and Yang. Who are we to scrape the sky as we scrape the sewers. Is one brick not only as strong as the one next to it?

        Obviously not, you can break one brick in a wall without taking the whole wall down.

            I’m pretty sure the message behind All in all, it’s just another brick in the wall isn’t that every individual brick is incredibly special and important to the entire structure and that even one missing brick would jeopardize the whole thing.

          Aha! But a brick is only as strong as its bonds to its neighboring bricks, and it is inevitable that if one brick falls, so shall the others. So sayeth the almighty brick!
