5 Wishy-Washy
Imagine the pain of loudly supporting one side of an
issue only to learn later that the opposite side had the better argument. A
legal advocate or a debate team must know the alternatives and be able to
present either side at its best, and universities teach us how to refute any proposition.
Comprehending all viewpoints elevates discussion from assertion
to evaluation.
Navigating arguments is like driving a vehicle that must be able to turn to the
right or to the left in order to stay on the road ahead.
When readers expect me invariably to take
positions on the right or on the left (as they perceive), I do not invariably
meet their expectations. Perhaps they might call me wishy-washy. If they do,
it is like saying my car is wishy-washy because it can turn to the right or to
the left according to road conditions.
In my multi-dimensional world, the road to progress is neither
unique nor linear.
