I should clarify something in all of this, having contemplated further.

I realised I wrote that I’ve treated others poorly in the past... but what I mean by that is that I’ve created stories in my head that have then influenced my behaviour. That caused me to feel insecure and actually withdraw from some friendships.

I’m wondering now what would’ve been different had I spoken about my insecurities with those friends... would they have supported me?

The mistrust came about because I didn’t seek ‘fellowship’ or union with others.

And that’s the message of this section of the text.

Honest communication is what creates harmony between people with common goals, even in the midst of diversity.

So I’m really interested in exploring this idea further.

Any thoughts, opinions?
