Another issue commonly brought up is that of good and evil, right and wrong. To generalize, everyone does what they believe is right regardless of their side. Light-siders believe their way is that of good and the right path, but Dark-siders also believe that their way is good and the correct path. And to not stop there, so do I as a shadow. I believe my ways are right, you believe your ways are right. I will listen to your evidence and evaluated to make a decision based upon what I believe as to whether I find your point of view fits in with mine. This brings me to the Herman Hesse quote which I have made use of recently:
"It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is."
If my beliefs do not fit in with another's, I will attempt to see that persons justification and provide them with my view and justifications. If we still continue to disagree I will respect that. It is called individuality. Everyone is individual and I believe we must recognize that.
A phrase I have used is 'Individuality within the whole'. This does not mean that a person can be individual as long as they conform with the currently conceived whole, it means that the whole is made up of individuals. If the perception of the whole omits any individual view then it is not complete. With the amount of individual views around it will be very hard to every complete the perception. So my point? Perceptions should be open to alteration. I believe one should be open to new material, evidence and viewpoints as they are part of the whole. If for some reason they do not appear to fit in there is something not being explained correctly and that error should be located and resolved.
