Ch. 675 - Humiliation.

Presuppositions.

It's amazing how simple "vibes", assumptions, and antecedent thoughts can affect a person in regards to what they say and do. Sometimes those presuppositions are made justly, but usually they are not.

Caves.
Why would you go into a cave in the first place?
"Exploration!"

I'll give you that.

But perhaps it's that you want to get away for a bit.
Meditation.
Reflection.

Or maybe you're trying to hide.
Distancing yourself from an "enemy" or simply people...
But they just wait outside.

Either way, you're alone.

Besides, you know what? When thinking of caves in a simplistic manner, you can only leave the way you enter. So eventually, you have to face the reason you entered the cave in the first place.

"Back to reality."

How often do we let ourselves fall into that trap?
Separation.
We burn bridges.
We close doors.
We put up walls.
And we dig ourselves into deep holes.

Why do we place barriers between ourselves and people?

People.

The saved.
The lost.
Strangers.
Acquaintances.
Friends.
Family.

We were made to be relational.

Fellowship.
Community.
Love.

What am I so afraid of?


'A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for adversity.'
[Proverb 17:17]
