For every man on top of a lighthouse, the whole world is nothing but that visible tract he can see. Some men are endowed with wider fields of observation, others can see farther in one direction than another. Two lighthouses never cover the same area.
Anything beyond the frail light cannot be comprehended. Misunderstanding between two people is caused by a mutual lack of ability to understand what is beyond one's own line of sight. We can only be told of what exists beyond our sight, but we never truly believe it. Millions have died in the name of sharing visions that cannot be truly shared.
Throughout the centuries, the darkness beyond the fringes of our perception has deserved at least as much words as what is illuminated within.
