Personal simply means that one must illogically rely upon faith to believe it as real.
I'm not worried about myself being made fun of or ridiculed.
Since I know what happened was real, I don't want to expose something holy to ridicule. I don't want to "expose" it at all actually, even if it wasn't going to be made fun of.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
