It sounds simple but it really isn't.

When trying to approach sacrosanct 'truths' from a clean slate, I've met torrents of emotional resistance. Yes, from others. But also inside myself. It is quite something.

I wish I could spend my days wandering the marketplaces asking sincere and pointed questions, but I have to get back to work.

of course it's not a thing for daily activities, more about ability to accept it when you face big questions
