Opposing Truths

We often fall into black-and-white thinking.

“This is correct. That is incorrect.”

But what if, both this and that are correct?

Often, truth is not only gray, but both black and white.

One statement is knocking on the truth door from one side, the other statement is knocking on the truth door from the other side.

Intelligent minds entertain, “how could this be true?” without fully accepting a claim.

Intelligent minds extract truth by digging below the surface of the language to gain understanding, based on context and intent.

Sure, sometimes claims are patently false.

But the selfish learner playfully wrestles with ideas.
