Why does everybody I talk to just tell me to accept it?

    My problem is that often, when i get too focused on a certain idea or "truth", all i want to do is get it out and spread it around to other people.

    after such a radical, eye-opening experience, i think it's common to want to share your breakthrough. but as it has been mentioned before, most people have no interest in breakthrough or maybe your understanding is a bit too abstract for them.

    sometimes i like to think of inability to grasp a concept as "rust on the brain"(like the tin man in oz) you can't expect a person to answer a question about the meaning of life, if they've never really thought of it before.

    maybe by asking the question, you've planted a seed. normally if someone tells me to not think about something, it usually means they've never thought about it before, but by you asking the question, maybe they will start. everyone has to start somewhere

    don't let the question get you down.
    don't let the question drive you insane either.

    I like what C.Castenada said--"when knowledge is desired ,a teacher will appear". I think you have now entered a period of your life where YOU may be a teacher for those around you.Have patience,for what is desired does not always appear on call.And remember ---there is some knowledge none of us is meant to know in our present forms. It is what it is and we are what we are.
