Context-free Context

Let me set the context....

This specific thing happened....

(and it was obviously bad/good....)

And now I have provided you with the context necessary to understand this other event.

I trust this context will shape your interpretation of not only this event, but also other events which can be viewed as manifestations of the same underlying principle.

I feel confident that I have served you well in providing this context (context-free as it may be) and impacting your life in this way.
