Forgive me, I meant not to pry upon your thoughts nor expect an answer from you like there could ever be one that is simple or easy.

I only long to understand, so I may be better of use to those whom I love and wish to help. I have been sheltered from much and - the context was far different, but I always thought better to... to say that I do not know, and to ask what I can hope to learn.

Even if the fault is mine for speaking so plainly as to cause such division, but perhaps that is the clearest lesson I can have.
