No, Joe, "to grasp" isn't to become attached, it is to comprehend, to understand. You say that the experience you cited has significance in "its transformative action, nothing more." Yet, when you wrote about this on the other board you used phrases like: "The most meaningful experience of my life occurred at the age of 25..." "In those fleeting moments I lived and understood more than in the entirety of my life prior and since (I’m 47 years of age)." "In the years since, it has become painfully clear..." "We are wasting precious life." "But this is mere knowledge, and knowing is not the same as understanding..." Tell me again that there is no confusion, and that there in no fixation, as your words lead me to a different conclusion. The description of your "experience" and the aftermath does not conform to your assertions. You also confuse feelings with knowledge. Your transitory feelings will betray you and leave you in despair without answers, whereas genuine knowledge will inform and equip you for decisions and action. grasp v. grasped, grasp·ing, grasps. 3. To take hold of intellectually; comprehend. (The American Heritage Dictionary) 1 Corinthians 14:11 Eph 3:14-21 |
