In this episode, I talk very generally about how we sometimes fall into extremes in our lives and perceive everything as either black or white, yes or no, forever or never, all or nothing. I mention examples from parenthood, gender roles, and life choices.
It's not like I don't have this tendency because I genuinely believe that our brains like to simplify life this way - by categorising things and not letting any grey areas in. As it may just be too complicated to process.
But we often deprive ourselves of the beauty of the shades of grey. Have a listen to this short episode and see if you agree with any of my points. Can you think of any other situations where we fall into black and whitism trap in lives?
