and what others are and do and express

if one is negative towards others, to puff oneself up
to feel superior
to express i am right and they are wrong egotistic views
if one misdirects anger or stress or conflict one carries at innocents
then what one is, and does, and expresses is of a lower nature
feeding lower nature energies with our attention and through expression
such being binds us to lower energies and natures and brings about re-birth and karma

Truth can be lived but not thought.

Thoughts are words, which are in a sense "views" which become our personal possessions.

I think this is what Thomas Merton alluded to in his words on the Shakers.....

"The Shakers remain as witnesses to the fact that only humility keeps man in communion with truth, and first of all with his own inner truth. This one must know without knowing it, as they did. For as soon as a man becomes aware of "his truth" he lets go of it and embraces an illusion. "

I held a view of a cherry tomato, then I ate it.
My view changed because of the experience..

Yes understanding is a product of experience and awareness.
