Post 77

Different people have different inclinations, predispositions and temperaments. This means our notions of reality, and how we communicate such notions, can vary enormously, even if we share a common tongue and upbringing. To me, this seems a fairly obvious point. But the reason I feel compelled to make it is that, in my experience, few people demonstrate awareness of it. If we are able to bear this insight mind, to understand the manifold ways in which different people express themselves, I believe we will be a lot more patient, humble, tolerant and sensitive. However, true, deep understanding and the genuine embodiment of insight is, I feel, a difficult and rare thing.
