Strings of words may point towards, suggest, hint at, and/or help a person apprehend some truths which are understood from within a particular context. What truths are apprehended, and the manner in which they are perceived, understood and embodied; these depend upon the particular person and the particular context within which that particular person lives. Truths are not known apart from the particularities of the person and the context within which the particular truths are apprehended, perceived, understood and embodied. Each truth which is known, embodied, transmitted, pointed to, suggested, hinted at, and/or appreciated; is so by particular persons in particular contexts. It is dishonest to pretend that any particular attempt to call attention to a truth is in any sense an absolute truth which may properly be imposed upon particular persons in particular contexts in disintegrative ways. Truths cannot be integratively imposed in any particular context upon any particular person. It is dishonest to pretend that all truths are of equal importance; for some truths are far more important and relevant, in a much wider range of contexts, and to a much wider grand of kinds of individuals; than are other truths. Yet, even the truths of the widest possible relevance and importance, cannot be integratively imposed upon unwilling particular persons in any particular contexts. Un- welcomed truths are not truly true to persons who are unwilling to welcome them; although the persons may suffer the consequences of not being willing/able to welcome the truths as offered. Insecure people are often unable and/or unwilling to welcome uncomfortable truths. By giving such people the gift of profound security, they may be helped to become able and willing to welcome uncomfortable truths which they need to apprehend and appreciate. People do not become superior to other people by apprehending and appreciating ultimate truths: to feel and think otherwise is to become the victim of arrogance, pride and alienation; and to make others victims of arrogance, pride and alienation.
