Beginner's Mind

On Friday, Henry/Mandala mused:

...all this astrology stuff does not confuse me. I do not even know what you all are talking about. I do not know enough to be confused...

Seeing things in black and white, removes the rainbows

On Tuesday, Anne from Oregon, currently in Colorado wrote:

It seems to me that some people certainly do think in such extreme "black/white" terms and do not seem to notice the many shades of gray that exist in between, not to mention all the other colors of the rainbow that enrich our lives.

I tend to also not indulge in such extreme thinking. In my opinion, it leaves too wide a margin for error and many quality people can slip in between the cracks when such thinking is practiced. I realize that people will live their lives and make decisions based on who they are at the moment. That's how life goes sometimes. It can be really easy to judge others, but I figure who am I to judge them? Even Jesus said "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" at the adulteress in the Bible.
