I read some Krisnarmurti. We can put a thousand kinds of labels -truthfull ?- on it. And he is known as a person who constantly talks about seeking the truth. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiddu_Krishnamurti ) One of the features that I pay attention to in his speeches is that he always puts reality in a high, inaccessible, -perhaps-mystical place, interacting with people like sitting together in parks and public p…

It is said that the universe came from the big bang. As a person who is familiar with Krishnamurti, where do you think reality comes from?

As a person who is familiar with Krishnamurti,

I would alter your sentence -where do you think reality comes from - to "Lets think where reality comes from."

Krish, was an interaction person -I sense, think-

Their arguments, always, was invitations.

Not statements -and personal (I, you, ..) things..-

They never personalized, project themself as a person.

So we could easily interact with our question,

from a one single meaning.

Reality perceived from a one single meaning-s-, by tribes, nations, people..

And yes, since you're the invitee, you could easily navigate your spark somewhere, by either with my spark or yours, or lets say ours ( since we interacted, communicate, it belongs us from now on )

This started to an interaction. So, two things, perception and society.

And what we started to think is, they wouldn't start directly from reality. Concepts like realty, god, .. are too big to start with.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Calling someone wrong, in the extreme sense, could be taken as an insult. Whereas when calling an idea wrong, the scope of negativity is limited to that idea. Even better is to focus only on the right, and minimize the time spent on the wrong.

Sure, but uh… sometimes some people deserve it. I’m uncomfortable with this notion that we should always tiptoe around people no matter what

Not tiptoe around people. Address their misconceptions efficiently without insulting them.
