Reality, the True State of Things, Does Not Reveal Itself to the Careless, Hasty or Indifferent

 

Here is a quote from David Baily Harned, from his book, Patience: How We Wait Upon the World:

"...reality does not disclose its secrets to careless, hasty, or indifferent scrutiny."

I would add self-righteousness to the above list, because self-righteousness warps one's perspective through an internal curating of one's own narrow worldview reliant upon the motivation of self: the priority being to serve one's need for significance or superiority, even if that self-righteousness claims a noble cause.
