and I know
you've had this experience
will you think
you know what something is
or you think you know
who someone is
and then you have
direct experience of that
place or person
and you realize
all your preconceptions were
totally wrong
they were controlled
by somebody else like
you know
for in fact
I won't
betray confidence
but off the area
we're talking about somebody
and you said
I couldn't believe
the person was not all like
what I thought
uh huh
that's happened to me
in the positive direction
in the positive direction
by the way
for me
it's almost always
in that direction
most people I meet
and I've had
the great privilege
of meeting
you know
a lot of people
over all this time
they're
way better than you think
or they're more complicated
or or whatever
but the point is
a direct experience
unmediated by liars
there's no substitute
for that
