Upon seeing this gate, it brought me the understanding of acceptance. As a business major, we all know too well the importance of monetary focus. However, I think what is lost in the process is often the intangibles traits like forgiveness, love and care. These are traits that are not key determinants in a business setting yet are very important ethical attributes we should possess. However, it seems like our world as a whole is turning away from these traits. As these changes happen, it may go unnoticed in our daily lives but I feel it really should not be forgotten. I believe this is the aspect of our life that the indigenous people has kept. The reason why I believe the gate is symbolic in that I know once I enter it, I will be accepted regardless of who I am. Thus its message is strong and why the picture resonated with me during my visit to the MOA.
