At a certain point, I believe the focus shifts from seeking [pats on the back and vigorous nods from likeminded folk] to tapping universal strains of truth—ones that function in hostile environments, and are also able to affect those who possess differing viewpoints.  THAT’S when ideas are able to weather unpredictability, as well as unrestrained opposition.  

In my opinion, that’s when ideas gain a life of their own.

    When I hear ‘universal strains of truth’ I think ‘speck of dust on a speck of dust’.

    Can I just stick to creating things and indulgently receiving those pats on the back and vigorous nods?

    I love this! It’s like coming out of our comfort zones if we truly want to experience all that life has to offer. At least that’s what came to my mind as I read this. 😊

    1. Yep, exactly! It’s the idea of a fish going from a small pond to a big one.
