I had a friend in high-school who I really admired because she had the ability to see the truth in things.  I always wondered how she did it until about earlier this year when I figured out how to do it.  Its a different path for everyone on how to get there but once you do, everything makes sense and you are ok with things you weren&#8217;t with before.
