3. It's clearly one of the wider lessons, just in the sense of materialism, that we as a culture

are working on right now. Another part of it is that we have to participate in the destruction of these things we love or believe to be true if we are ever to understand those things.

My mother recently died and we are renovating the home I was born into, preparing to sell it. It's a process of so much destruction and building, and it is so true that only as things pass away do you really come to understand things that happened and what their context was. Many bad things become positive, many good things are forgotten, or seem worse, or seem better. The understanding of them as they pass away is completely different from the understanding of them as they happened.

There are just worlds in the words of that dream of yours.
