Noise is the most distracting force in our quest for true understanding. The more verbal skill one possesses, the noisier one's chattering box becomes. There are no cure for our socio-cultural ills if we could not reach a common ground, a basis for inter-communication. The more educated a person is, the worse he/she would do in responding to the call for purity of the heart and clarity for human knowledge.
When we start to discuss something, we begin to enter into the inevitable realm of half truth, of partial truth, but not the whole truth itself. It is not that the whole truth is difficult to reach but the opposite is true. The whole truth is scaringly "naked." There's no protection, no safeguard. However the truth is shockingly simple and literally "on your face." This truth can serve as the universal springboard for an encompassing knowledge of ourselves, of humanity.
