I hate one-sidedness, and one reason I hate it is that we should know better. Yet you look around and listen to people, and everyone's goddamn one-sided. Whatever happened to pausing and considering the opposite of what you feel or think, as if it might have some merit?

I recognize that sticking to your guns is sometimes essential. I do. Believe me, I know. But do you recognize, in turn, that most people, probably including you and me, are too one-sided too often?

Besides, if you know where the ground is, you don't have to treat it as if it's going to run away.

Here's a possibility to consider: one-sidedness can be worse than bias. Human minds are all biased in various dimensions. But if you move away from one-sidedness, you're open to adjustments. You could be a hair away from the Ultimate Truth, but if you're entirely one-sided, you could be entirely lost.
