According to Simmel, only humans are capable of separating and connecting. To achieve this, humans have invented "bridges" and "doors." Thus, what is near can seem distant, and the distance imposed by nature can become close. In the Simmelian sense, the border represents the gateway into and out of a country; it symbolizes the difference between the populations of two countries and serves as a reminder of conflicts between two states.
