We talk about seeing things in black and white as being rigid, closed to variation, unable to see nuance. But even within the narrow parameters of black and white there are unlimited possibilities.
When have limitations led you to a more creative outcome?
You are right. Recently I made accusations toward another denomination about requirements for Church Leadership, I was wrong not to try to make amends immediately because I am claiming in my Buddhist belief it’s better to find a middle way. If I have occasion, I will try to understand their point of view. Life is too short to be angry. Anger leads to hostilities. So, I know I must take refuge in my belies, and see the world more holistically. Thank you for bringing this idea to my attention.
