The country is going to hell. Yes and no.
Gun control is a great evil. Yes and no
Doctors can’t be trusted. Yes and no.
John Smith is an evil person. Yes and no.
The proper view is that two or more realities can and do occupy the same space.
In the very same way that a jar of dirt or earth contains varying degrees of rocks and minerals.
In the very same way reality contains varying measures of truth.
Therfore when you state: “The country is going to hell” Yes, you are correct in that a measure
of the country is going to hell. But there also exist another measure in that, the country is in part
flourishing. They may not in any sense be equal but they are present in their measure.
Your particular perspective may identify one or the other but confirming the measure is different
thing altogether. Hence I have learned to see your views as very valuable in containing measures of truth...And now you add to my perception of reality in place of standing in obstruction of it.
This photo represents how two different views occupy the very same space.
