The best thinkers keep an open mind. And they try to see multiple perspectives on the issue. When you don't see life as a series of yes or no answers, there's so much beauty in seeing nuance and complexity. I got more hate mail for that post than anything else I've written in recent memory. So much hate mail from meditators too, which is sort of ironic, right? Because meditation teaches loose attachments to ideas and whatnot. But people were so tied to their identity as a meditator and so unwilling to even think about and study a peer reviewed research study that introduced some nuanced thinking.
