C'è poco da aggiungere, se non un fatto semplice: ciascuno, disegnando la trama dei propri pensieri, delle scelte, delle azioni e delle interazioni con gli altri, traccia anche un minuscolo o grande tratto della trama mutevole che lo unisce come individuo a tutto il resto. E, poco o tanto, la modifica, rendendola più luminosa o più opaca.

Contemplation is purer still, yet more sophisticated.

Some people can attain this state accidentally through some combination of surprising events, which is sometimes called revelation. Fewer still can cause this to happen intentionally, mainly because you have to surprise yourself to have it occur. In any case, it requires a real sense of the value of paradox. One leaves a single position behind (such as “I like this” or “I don’t like this”) and expands in comprehension to simultaneously experience its opposite as well.
