“The binary, black – and – white mentality offers, shelter, of simplicity. The potential to live, there is not only never loss; it represents a specific part of our psychic life, for many people the most significant part. But the capacity to take a more complex view represents the entry into a realm of greater maturity, of emotional responsibility, and of the ability to accept the difficult, sometimes troubling ambiguity that is life.”-Robert Karen. Most struggle with black and white thinking because we’ve been taught to simplify in such a way. To be this or that, to have this one feeling and no other, etc. When trying to minimize our experience and self to fit in metaphorical box, it doesn’t honor the whole person, experinece, or feeling. Thus, allowing and considering all aspects of these full range aspects of life can we really sit with reality and experience it. It can be liberating and exhilarating to expand our perception in such a way. Just say ….☺️ 🤷🏽♀️
