This piece truely made me think, Della. Your integration philosophy is so insightful. I wonder how we actively *practice* accepting every contradiction.
I'm glad! Good and bad both have truth. Right and wrong both have truth. One isn't better than the other. They are just different. In school, did anyone ever ask you to argue from the other side of the debate? Did you ever play that game? It's an amazing game because it allows you to see the other side instead of just reject it outright. When you have to force yourself to think like the opposing team, you gain perspective. It's not about agreement. It's about accepting that both teams are allowed to co-exist. Practicing it is just a matter of stopping yourself before you simply reject the alternative. It's self-awareness.
