How can two opposing viewpoints both remain ātrueā?
We often think in binaries: āEverything is all good or all bad. Iām right, so youāre wrong.ā But this isnāt reality: Human relationships are complex. So how can we allow for the nuance of holding two truths at the same time?
In this episode, I use my difficult relationship with my dad as an example for how we might expand our thinking to envelop non-binary perspectives of truth. Iāll even give you 10+ examples of āopposingā truths to consider.
As ever, itās a deep look into the human psyche and behaviorā¦ simplified and put to practice.
