Truth is a relationship. Truth isn’t something that I’ve got over here separate from you. It isn’t something you’ve got over there separate from me. The real truth – the truth that is justice – is not on either side. It’s our relationship.
The way all of your appear in my consciousness is a reduced, biased, constricted, impoverished version of you. So from that perspective, I cannot do to justice to you. How can I do justice to you? How can you do justice to me? We do justice to each other by fully responsible conversation face to face.
