Thank you for the excellent post.

Your insight reminds me of a conflict I had when I was an avid student
of spirituality. Occasionally I'd run across something I thought was
particularly insightful, something I'd want to share; and would question
myself about whether the people I'd want to share it with were "ready"
to receive it.

It took me a while to learn that everyone has their own level of
understanding. It's impossible (and somewhat arrogant) to attempt to
determine what someone else will accept or reject. Children, I'm learning,
are no different; they're smarter than I give them credit for.

Fortunately, JKR has a better understanding of people (children, in
particular) than I do!

Thanks for the reminder.
