A very profound thought. We tend to judge events through the lens of our own expectations and desires, forgetting that we see only a small part of the bigger picture. Perhaps not everything that happens can immediately be labeled as fair or unfair. Sometimes understanding comes later, when we are able to see the broader meaning behind what has taken place.
“Ultimate reality is that which ultimately exists and whose nature is unknown to us”.
Ultimate reality is the present and the present is unknown to us because we don’t fully live in the present.
Where our attention is directed is what our consciousness is seeing and most of the time our attention is directed toward our own thoughts of the past, the future, or wherever with just enough attention to our perceptions of the present to get along.
To be totally in the present we must give our full attention to our perceptions of the present, thoughtlessly.
In the present ultimate reality becomes seen, not known, seen.

When Jesus walked this earth he said judge no one for you will be measured with the same measure.
