There are always (at least) two sides to every issue

Sunday, March 8th, 2009

There is my side and yours, the inside and the out, the right and the wrong to name just a few. However, we seldom, if ever have all the information, and we can only see things from within our own being and experience.  Different people will inevitably see, feel and experience things differently. 

However, like this Mobius Strip, although there are two sides and there is but a single face (which is how come the the ants can does this.)  People are often divided by their differing sides, instead of experiencing the single unity. 

Troubles are more easily solved when we allow ourselves to focus on the things that unite us rather than the things that drive us apart.  It is extraordinary that Christian killed Muslim, and vice versa in the name and ‘service’ of the same god!  Even within the Christian church the most bitter of rivalries separate catholic from protestant…

When we look for commonality and common cause we can find it; it is equally easy to find cracks of division; which would you sooner seek?

“There is only one nature – the division into science and engineering is a human imposition, not a natural one. Indeed, the division is a human failure; it reflects our limited capacity to comprehend the whole.”   Bill Wulf
