Just when the truth about life sinks in, His truth starts to surface. He takes us by the hand and dares us not to sweep the facts under the rug but to confront them with him at our side.

Interpretation
What this quote means
Fear can cause us to forget our true nature and purpose.

When we allow fear to dominate our thoughts and actions, we can lose sight of our values, beliefs, and the deeper truths about ourselves and the world around us, resulting in a kind of spiritual forgetting.

Young people have a right to optimism, and rightly so; human beings have grown and developed and accomplished wonderful feats in the world. But what mires me in pessimism is the fact that so much of life is pain and sorrow and willful ignorance and violence, and pushing back against that tide takes so much effort, so much steady fight. It's tiring.
