Hi Seashore
I hope you are well. That passage really resonates with me.

My life experience has been that when I was addicted to alcohol I was shunned by others and couldn't connect with people which was distressing. At the same time there were people who I would ignore. I understand this now.

When I started going to Alcoholics Anonymous it was amazing to be able to grow by talking and relating with others and be accepted and learn to accept others as they were.

Nowadays I always have time to stop and talk to my fellow human beings that are often shunned by others.

I have grown over the years through learning about the universe I inhabit. I've found Buddhist Philosophy and meditation very useful for changing my conscious wareness for the better.

Interesting passage thanks for posting it.
