Why am I so passionate about recognizing and possibly eradicating black and white thinking?
I would like to propose that black or white, either/or responses occur when we are happily motoring along and suddenly encounter an unexpected T intersection.
Suddenly, a question is thrust in front of us. A decision has to be made.
Knee-jerk reactions are by definition automatic and unthinking.
We depend on our conditioning to answer lightening fast questions. Can you trust your conditioning? Do you know how your conditioning is likely to respond?
For me, my conditioning is likely to want me to rush which means my response is not well-thought out.
How do you handle T intersections?
