THE GAP
By Anthony Lopez
The problem is never the principle. It is what happens to it after it leaves
the page.
Somewhere between the writing and the reading, the gap opens.
Not through dishonesty. Through interpretation. Each person brings their own context, their own convenience, their own version of what the words were always meant to say.
Constitutions get rewritten through judgments. Philosophies get diluted through practice. Religions get weaponised through selective reading.
The words do not change. The distance between them and how we live them - that is the real text.
Closing that gap is the hardest work there is. And it is never finished.
