While I don't often find myself creating the dichotomies, I do often find myself choosing something between the two distinct choices someone else has laid out. <br /><br />I always considered it my "ability to compromise" but hadn't thought much about what drove the other person to create the dichotomy in the first place. <br /><br />What do you think drives this? You implied it's because it's easier to choose when there are only 2 choices, but I wonder if it's also because people have preconceived notions of what is the right answer, so they create their version of the "right answer" and a clear-cut negative and opposite "wrong answer." <br /><br />The beauty of studying Tao is that I'm not as interested in wrong and right, but instead in understanding why people do what they do.TJhttp://www.bravenewlife.comnoreply@blogger.com
