Being infinite, the whole of reality is too much for the conscious human mind to grasp. The best any one of us can do is to take the biggest slice of Infinite Reality we can hold - intellectually, spiritually, and emotionally - and make that slice our personal sense of what is real. But no matter how broad it is, any human perception of reality can be no more than a tiny sliver of Infinite Reality.Civilization also has a limited perception of Infinite Reality. And with a haughty self-assurance, it imposes that perception on us until we think it is our own. . Gordon MacKenzie
About This Quote

Civilization is the collective name for all the laws, ideas, and ways of thinking which have been found useful in human society. A civilization is a society of people who share similar values, beliefs, and customs. For example, the Roman Empire was the first known civilization. The ancient Greeks were another example of a civilization, because they shared many values like philosophy, mathematics, writing, and art.

Civilizations break down into different areas of knowledge like religion or science or literature, etc. The idea that it is okay to be part of a certain culture because one cannot see the whole picture means that one is limited by one's perspective. One must accept all knowledge and learn to be an open-minded person who realizes his/her own perspective only represents a tiny slice of everything.
