Binary
It’s easy to think the outcome of every situation should be binary.
You either win, or you lose. Fail or succeed. Stay or leave.
This all-or-nothing mentality gives us a sense of direction. A sense of where the spectrum begins, and where it ends.
It, however, takes away the opportunity to consider other countless possibilities in between. Or see all the colours that are neither black nor white.
