Another lingering reflection, from a recent Randoms...:
Truth is only experienced through context.
Ever noticed that seemingly obvious portions of truths don't appear to dawn on some people (true for all of us, at any given point)? What If...they haven't actually experienced it yet?
Truth, in and of itself, can at times seem abstract, cold, soul-less. But, when understood, it can feel specific, invigorating, and personal. I can recall several life circumstances when something that typically didn't feel too alive to me became very real. One time, after I lost my job, people brought us simple things like food. The truths of generosity and tangible care sank deeply into me.
What makes it one or other seems to be related to one's personal encounter with it. In other words, truth can be so alive when we have a context in which it resonates with us.
In that way, we can be sensitive to people for whom portions of truth doesn't seem to register; perhaps the context for a personal experience with it is still on its way.
