Crusades end the same way in ruination. Not of only the quarry of the crusader, also the crusader themselves. Duality is held within all of us, to ignore it allows us to become a fool. A fool who believes their persona is them. Their identity is the story they tell others about themselves.
Duality is constantly meeting identity, reality, and soul. While identity, and reality may have dramatic shifts that reconcile, the soul doesn't. The soul nudges you towards a path. Allowing righteousness to form outrage a product of pride. They pervade when you cannot grapple with your pain.
Every revolution has a crossroads. Each one must take a path of evolution or fixation. We collectively make these decisions. Many only learn a path through difficulty. They must be shown the abyss to see that every person contains immense light, and dark. Yet some leave this world fixated on one side an not the other.
Famine, and fecundity are born from circumstance. For the conditions are ripe they manifest as if it were a fruit. We must accept our history of violence to heal it. We must know in the greatest conflict rebuilding a people, a person is what is required. Restoring a home, house, or society will only be whole when this historic residue is kept in sight.
Deference is only a tool. Healing will not happen without an inner woven fabric of communities. Unity is a product of this fabric, and like roots must grow from each individual. There is no king or leader that will ever be able to instill only impose. Imposing does not allow natural evolution.
A environment of tolerance is needed without tolerance for violence. Yet like all duality there is little path without difficult work. Tolerance must be taught for its value in society as intolerance for subjugation's detrimental effects to society. All the while understanding that many will never learn, and many more will only learn after great pain.
This is the beauty of darkness. The beauty of light needs little explanation.
If you keep wisdom in a cloister you never gain the greatest insights. For practicing wisdom speaking of it, allowing yourself to be wrong. This is the essence of the greatest wisdom of all. Allowing yourself a shift in belief while allowing others to gain insight to an unfamiliar perspective. This is the spring or font of the wise.
There is no correct path. Each person must gain insight to themselves through understanding the world they live in. Many mistake their experience for the world, or a collective reality. In doing so you will feel as if you know when you do not.
A path to pride, and crusading isn't far behind. Remember to always leave room for yourself to reach incorrect conclusions. By making this allowance you leave yourself the capacity to learn. Don't just be curious about the world, but also about yourself.
