Often times, we can't remember that everything is hardly ever black and white. Whether it's our political choices, the car we drive or the film we just saw. It's seldom 100% great, even though we tend to call it that way and identify our choices with our illusions of personal perfection. In everything we judge, desire or identify with, there's always some sort of gradation.
When I vote for a new president this November, I doubt very much that I will be 100% in favor of that individual. Perhaps only 58%, but his opponent (yeah, we'll have to chose between two men!) may only rank at 48 or 52%. Nothing or no one is ever perfect and worth the perfect score and that even holds true to the latest version of the iPhone!
Now, if we all could be more nuanced in our choices and the things or folks we support, we would be less radical and much more credible. I believe in the “60% candidate” or the “72% car,” but certainly not in the 100% version of either one of them. Just think about it more and welcome to the equitable and smart universe of nuances!
