A meeting
A human's opportunity for achieving understanding is best when it has the best basis for its thinking. Human understanding functions in different ways according as what it is about. Our ability to understanding therefore adapts to what we want to understand. It is an ability which we can use in a good way, similarly as it is with other human qualities. To come forward with your understanding, you have to be aware of keeping your thought to the truths.
Unconscious and conscious untruths from the sources which forms the basis for our understanding, is something important to disclose. If the worst comes to the worst, such untruths can damage ones development of understanding.
How it is possible for someone to assert oneself by using lies and bluffs and such, is something necessary to be on the watch towards because it is a weakness someone now and then can be yield to the temptation to give way for.
After writing these three paragraphs I began thinking that the enemies to mankind are not humans; the enemies are untruths, incorrect notions, and wrong understanding and the like; and what such things are doing with humans. What it is that starts conflicts, is something important to focus on. Why do humans sometimes not want to understand what is true? That is also something important to focus on.
A butterfly for example has not decided how it looks and what kind of natural qualities it has. It is the same with a human. Nor a human has decided how it looks and what kind of natural qualities it has. To understand about the humans and the nature, are something we need to understand that are something to understand. We humans understand more than butterflies, something which is one of our natural qualities it is useful for us to understand that we can use in a very good way. Such an understanding regarding humans and the nature is a meeting with something it is possible for us to understand.
Our fantasy is in its way something favorable, but it is not the same as understanding about facts.
