Gray Scale
Anytime someone asks a person if that person believes in absolutes, he or she is referring to maxims. Maxims are constants that never change no matter their application, and are absolute by that definition.
There is a simple allegory in philosophy that illustrates what a maxim is. It starts by presenting every size of rock as either the smallest rock, the largest rock or anything in between. The...

Simple observations
Jealousy
Jealousy is a form of paranoia that incorporates envy. As a person who is jealous, by playing into jealousy and acting on it, one might alleviate the paranoia but only at the cost of a more desperate and vague paranoia through jealousy.

I say this under the same pretext as when we say that in our reflection left is right and right is left.
If you were to stand in front of a mirror and hold out your left hand, it would look like your reflection is holding out its right hand. This is because the orientation of reflections in a mirror are exactly the...

There are at least three basic forms of reciprocalism.
Polar reciprocalism
Perpendicular reciprocalism
Inverse reciprocalism
Polar reciprocalism is the basis for perpendicular reciprocalism’s two dimensional definition. See the horizontal/vertical line scenario. (Polar potentials of combined vertical and horizontal expressions)
Polar reciprocalism is evident in many antonyms. Up and...
