It means to not go out of your way to become estranged from others. You just might need them later. It is about like a literal bridge. It is okay to burn one if you never have to cross back over. However, if there is a chance you will need to cross back over, you should never burn it, since building a new one will be much harder. Relationships are quite similar. You can turn others against you to make them leave you alone, or you can act like you are better than others. However, there may come a time when you need their help.
