And yes, there are measures whereby these parallels comfort us, and furthermore truth does become shaped within principles and precepts that are solid and true. However spiritual axioms are not intellectual - insofar as berries and fruit are best ingested through the mouth and not the feet.
Similarly arguments between lovers, friends and even with infants mostly never come to peace via the intellectual detangling of separate positioned opinions and grievance of perspect.
There maybe a pretence of understanding, or an admission towards peace, however the mind may simply want to reconcile for the sake of that peace without feeling or being able to comprehend the dilemmas of the other.
For in fact we are needs-be perplexed by the collateral of another soul. Their consciousness and trials, their catalogues of experience, is not as ours - and especially in contrasting times etc they may appear to be similar in a very rudimentary way, but in the most complex of fashioning, they are not.
And likewise it is also for individual countries and their heritage peoples; the added differences are extraordinary and one's understanding cannot be gained merely by scholarly learning or extraneous observation.
Our only path to such knowledge and understanding is through love - and that is a gift of Christ: that we may be able to find an immediate affinity with another - be them human, Angel or creature, through and with the divine heart that is His.
We ask that we be shown this true wisdom in the name of our beloved Christ, and that only the goodness will come to us.
Truths about mishap are irrelevant, whereas truths of compassion towards circumstance are exceedingly important if we care to sharpen our perception and begin to hold this World in our hearts as He does.
It is sublimely possible - and as these times become more fevered and worn, the path to the Heart is more necessary now than ever.
