We Need Each Other
Every sage's words echo the
sentiment of this Proverb (Proverbs chptr 12:vs 1):that says: Whoso loves instruction
loves knowledge: but he that hates reproof is brutish. This is to say we need each other in a way that few do outside of any spiritual fellowship. We learn through each other how to give, as well as take,
instruction. Yes, we can browbeat each other all we want but one of the best character
traits any rebellious soul is the reticence to be bowled over by a supposed
authority. The insistence that we give ourselves over to; Big Book, Bible or sacred text, bullies is
contrary to everything these texts tell us about ourselves. We learn to be gentle and tolerant through our close proximity to each other. After all, we have a common bond in our efforts to transcend our ordinary folly and need each other to do so.
