Hi
I think I wasn't clear enough and that's the reason you misunderstood me. e.g. Enemy of my enemy is my friend, or, an idle mind is devil's workshop. In the preceeding aphorisms one may undrstand the general meaning but one might wonder that how enemy of my enemy could be my friend, or, how an idle mind can become devil's workshop. Is this called 'background meaning'? Please let me know
