How careful we should be in all our friendships, – how thoughtful, how forbearing, how considerate, how charitable! We should not judge others; and if we are misjudged we should not complain, but wait quietly for the fuller revealing which some day will come.
We are moving toward a day when every veil shall be taken away. The veil of flesh shall rend at the touch of death, and the real self shall pass out into clear vision. Then shall we know, even as also we are known. We do not see realities while in this life; death is the great revealer. Thus Browning:–
You never know what life means till you die;
Even throughout life ‘tis death that makes life live,
Gives it whatever the significance.
