A man that has not dealt with his foundation cannot deal with another man's foundation.

Perhaps one day, all these conflicts will end, and it won't be because of great statesmen or churches or organisations like this one. It'll be because people have changed. They'll be like you, Puffin. More a mixture. So why not become a mongrel? It's healthy.

Your calling is buried in your background on earth

Your calling is buried in your background and life experience

Greatness is not dependent on your background, it is dependent on how much value you were able to add to yourself per time.

The background reveals the true being and state of being of the man or thing. If I do not possess the background, I make the man transparent, the thing transparent.
