Exploring the manner that two values which are both held as crucial by folks I know form a pair with a unique tension between them…
The first is an adherence to absolutes.
The second is acceptance. Absolutism taken to extremes leads to rigid judgments. Acceptance taken to extremes tends to shy away from the work creative transformation demands.
While each of these creates a counter position to the other, it is my sense that combined, they create a third reality where ideals are not compromised, superiority does not run rampant, and a healthy understanding of the human condition guides expectations.
It’s interesting to me how some pairs of opposites are not as obvious as hot/cold. None the less, it’s the creative experience between the opposites where the field we call “life” opens up.
