“Reality speaks, sometimes in low whispers and sometimes in loud screams. Not all of us listen to reality when it speaks though; some hear it and choose to ignore it and some are just blind to the truth.”
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from From Chaos to Order, chapter 6
In other words
Reality does not always speak loudly at first. It may begin as a small discomfort that is easy to dismiss. If it is ignored, the results can become louder than the first warning.
What is true may be hard to accept, but it gives us a real place to begin. An unwelcome fact can show us what needs care. Without it, we may spend our energy protecting how things look while the real problem grows.
Quiet times bring a different test. When nothing seems broken, care can feel less important. Yet peace and happiness also need attention. Reality speaks in good times and bad ones. Only its volume changes.
