Imagine you come upon a house painted brown. What color would you say the house was?"" Why brown, of course."" But what if I came upon it from the other side, and found it to be white?"" That would be absurd. Who would paint a house two colors?" He ignored my question. "You say it's brown, and I say it's white. Who's right?"" We're both right."" Non, " he said. "We're both wrong. The house isn't brown or white. It's both. You and I only see one side. But that doesn't mean the other side doesn't exist. To not see the whole is to not see the truth. Megan Chance
About This Quote
