Contrast is the same as showing differences or unlikeness. In our day to day experiences, contrast is something that we say we do not want.

My shallow Catholic background, steeped in useless “mystery, miracles, and authority” where I was never exposed to Catholicism’s deeper aspects, such as the contemplative saints, was failing me.
