The world will become peaceful, beautiful and abundant
IF EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW

Imagine a ladybird running across the skin of your finger. What might she understand about you? She may explore the surface of you, travelling over fingernails and hairs. She may discover that the five fingers she traverses are connected, or she may view them as five separate pinks hills, according to whether she hops from one to another, or whether she laboriously runs to each finger tip and back, starting from the palm of your hand. In effect, she knows very little of your ESSENCE, though she may indeed acquire a more accurate impression of you and your size if she SPREADS HER WINGS AND FLIES, THUS VIEWING YOU FROM A GREATLY EXPANDED PERSPECTIVE.

What I am trying to convey here is that UNDERSTANDING SOMEONE is a lengthy and complicated process, whereas many fall into the trap of immediately judging someone according to what they might once have seen, or what the person might once have said or done.

Not only can we not know another person in a definitive sense, that person is also EVOLVING, in the same way that we are EVOLVING and learning. Thus each encounter is a momentary and fleeting affair, without us ever having the "full picture". If we are aware of this, then our journey is full of WONDER as we contemplate what NEW ASPECTS of a person will come to light today, or how we may be invited to REVISE OUR PREVIOUS OPINION.
