At Times The Truth Shines So Brilliantly That We Perceive It As Clear As Day. Our Nature And Habit Then Draw A Veil Over Our Perception, And We Return To A Darkness Almost As Dense As Before. We Are Like Those Who, Though Beholding Frequent Flashes Of Lightning, Still Find Themselves In The Thickest Darkness Of The Night.
