your interpretation that is. i kind of saw it from the other way. like u should fulfill your highest high instead of settling. it's kind of like how i c Afrikans living in a way not Our own. someone's else way is the dwarf and an Afrikan practising it is the one kneeling for the dwarf. practising and recreating Our Way would be equivalent, for me anyway, of standing up to your own height.

Thanks for the exchange.
