Tangent away...it's a good thing Mc Fly

Martha — 5/30/2007 10:43:19 PM (archived)

...and I welcome any and all opinions...because... nothing is [*cringe* ]black and white [*shit-eating-grin*]...where people are concerned.

I feel that if something doesn't fit within the parameters of what their own reality is...people become fearful...and this fear translates to an attitude that *becomes* black and white. In otherwords....if it does not exist *in my world*...it does not exist at all....freedom of individual interpretation is lost. It seems to become "I am right...you are wrong" issue.

One could say that political polarization is an example...the Us VS. Them mentality....each person completely convinced they are right.

Black and white ONLY exists in science and math....but we are forcing this equation to work within the shades of grey...*LIFE*...and I find it quite disturbing....because people are losing the ability to understand the other person...or to even consider a different viewpoint....it is very close-minded.

Just thinking outloud.
