wow
what on earth does that have to do with dualism? im really confused here. its not a very good story because it talks about things that aren't even practical or real. the drug doesn't exist so why do I have to answer its question? I don't even feel it will ever exist. you don't need illogical fantasy to talk about dualism. dualism is very practical.
dualism is thinking in polar extremes, in black and white thinking. the belief here is suffering and ignorance is caused by dualistic thinking. its the thinking that something is either absolutely right or absolutely wrong. its the belief of the war between good and evil, and that there are things that embody absolute good and absolute evil. that either I am right or I am wrong, that either you are wrong or you are right. that its either option A or option B, and no other options exist. dualism is also the idea that while these things present themselves as extremes, as black and white, a lot of times its a lie to say they are extremes.
let's look at the american stock market today. what does dualism say?
dualism says "either pass this 700 billion blank check or SUFFER!!" that is dualism. is there really no other option? between all the great minds in america today, there is absolutely no other bill that could be created to solve this issue? of course there is!! but you will never even consider creating this other bill, if you are trapped in ego dualism where its one or the other.
only someone who comes out of dualistic thinking can say "hey, we have a third option!"
dualism is not a ridiculous idea. understanding how dualistic thinking has ruined our lives is essential for mankind to move forward.
we can continue further and look at the american government as a whole. how many people have been upset, or felt the government doesn't care about the man on the street? how many people for a long ass time haven't cared about voting? how many parties are there really, in our government? let's be honest here. TWO. because a lot of americans feel, they have to pick between two options that don't solve anything. if its either option A or B, then you are in a dualistic battle.
imagine if we had three major parties in america. that had equal coverage on the news. suddenly the politics scene gets really exciting!! and disinterested voters, get interested.
