Dealing with opposition

By learning from physical objects, one can deal with opposition met during one’s life in a costless way.

Consider the following 4 extreme materials.

• full-reflect mirror: counter
• vacuum: disregard
• carbon nanotube: absorb
• glass nanobeads: emit

By configuring one’s mind in a certain way, one may deal with conflicting viewpoints when interacting with opposition opinions effortlessly. For example, I often reflect the person I’m talking to. What they see in me is a mirror reflection of themself. It is my way of protecting myself from all kinds of psychological harm.

The last 2 materials assume that you act as a membrane between two sides. If you do not have a side of philosophy to lean on, you can’t absorb or emit without damaging yourself.
