The fullest truth takes into account the person receivin' it. That don't make it watered down, it makes it complete. It's recognizin' that truth exists between people, not floatin' out in the fuckin' ether waitin' to be grabbed. I've seen men die over truths delivered poorly.... I agree that there are millions who want to settle our differences with conversation, and I believe uptrust will make this happen. It is scary because we are challenging a dominant cultural force that has lots of incumbent power, and I believe the power of love is enough on its... - Florence...
I think you’ve hit the nail on the head when you say “the biggest problem is that each sides narrative requires the others to be illegitimate”.
