"The medium is the Massage" from Marshall McLuhan is what comes to mind when I hear in your words of this first part.
I have been initially brought up as a bit of an outcast of society, I have, as an adult found my way to relate to it but I still feel a little alien to many "established truths" of society. I would like to talk more about this but I don´t really feel comfortable in this medium to do so. So I will say in short that I believe in working in my immediate surrounding to help unwind the knots I find in my way, deal with what I come across and I can assure you, this has a much larger repercussion. I´m sure you know what I mean.
If one thinks in the fractal way, One can see the immediate close environment is a small fractal of the larger picture. To resume that, I can say "truth" goes beyond dimensions. Not sure If I have expressed well what I wanted to say, but I tried! Thanks for writing this!
