Light and dark
Black or white
Good and evil
The West likes dichotomy or seeing one versus the other.
The light is on or it is off.
Circuit closed or open. It cannot be in two states at once. Or can it?
Eastern thought embraces being both at once.
Dualism allows us to understand light as both a particle and a wave.
We are both good and evil.
When I let go of having to be one or the other, I feel more free to move and act. I can be both. I can aspire to be helpful while embracing the parts that are still learning.
