Sometimes the potency of a truth becomes dilute and lacks importance
due to repetition, and the punch the meaning carries never reaches the body of
the thoughts and delivers the blow of realization that should shake mind and conscience
to take action. We say the world needs love, and then they hate. We say take
action, just do it, and then are lazy. Let’s seize the day—tomorrow. It seems
like the more we know something is important the less we perceive that the quality
that makes something important is fact that urgency of action is required.
Knowing something is important means knowing that the world, something, or most
importantly someone needs help—a help that can be given. But our minds become
calloused to the convicting truths that should speak to us and motivate us to
take immediate action.
Only when we are fully taking the advice of truths do we
have the right to dismiss them, but then we would not want to dismiss them
because their value would be clear and respected. There is a large gap that separates
our hearts from our minds, and until the truths have soaked into our heats, we
will not move when we ought to. Repetition will not build a bridge between our
heats and our minds, only by understanding that only an understanding is not enough
to move us can we hope to have our hearts push us forward into the arms of
progress.
