There’s a clue in here if you look
carefully
…so many keys and so many locks
yet none a perfect fit
Would that we could read these
signs before trying to bend others to our will
If we cared enough to read souls
we would
with ease
unlock each other
with just the master key

I doubt that there is single master key… maybe we need to unlock ourselves to get to know each other.

It’s good to see the different interpretations from this. Indeed, you can see it that way- a valid point

Unlocking a soul I don’t think is our business in life but that is just me. I do think we need to learn to unlock hearts of ourselves and others. If only we could.

It is easy enough if we stop thinking of ourselves and think of them instead as sympathy and trust are what they need.

Sometimes we do ‘unlock each other / with just the master key’ – isn’t is sublime!

That’s a meaningful clue that you find here — we indeed need to care for other’s hearts instead of bending them to our will — it’s quite a gem of a wisdom.
