RE: Absolutism and Missing the Relative Variability of Reality
I think people put on the black and white concept because it's easier to understand. If you're not A, then you must be B. It's simple enough. You won't have to spend hours and hours reflecting because it's only either of the two. But of course, like you said, life isn't often black and white. There's also a gray in between and even the shades change. But people like to stand for something and appear firm. Barely anyone wants to consider any middle ground or they take everything at face value. I was going to put topics I've read here where people were either a pro or anti but I'm not keen on getting bullets from either side because I'm divided on those topics anyway :P
Indeed, but often there is no middle ground either, compromise isn't always the solution. An accurate understanding of issues can be had, and better options chosen of less better options, not compromise just because someone wants their own personal gain at the expense of others. Sometimes both sides are wrong, but sometimes one side is right and the other wrong. Thanks for the feedback.
