The Gap and the Gate

This gate has puzzled me for years. Why put up a gate and leave an easy path around it? Is it just that the job (adding a bit of fence from the gatepost to the tree) was somehow never completed? Is it meant as a visual message or metaphor of some kind?

FEEL FREE TO CONTRIBUTE SOME.

Here is one: An irreverent play on biblical scripture: "Straight is the gate and narrow is the way, and the narrow way is easier." (KJV NT Matthew 7:14, with my flip addendum).

Location: A gateway into a private backyard, on a secluded but public walking path in Riehen BS Switzerland.
