In the West, many think like this: You’re good or bad. You love or hate. An idea or evaluation is true or false. Although occasionally important or useful, as a habit this is like trying to find a way to get rid of every one of your own appendages until ‘the right one remains’. In other places, some intelligence survives. People seek and acquire interest in many conflicting positions as fuel for ongoing synthesis. Go ahead and ‘get rid’ of those ‘wrong fingers’. Me? I like my ‘opposable thumb’. And I’ll be keeping all my other appendages too, thanks all the same.
