Let’s go back to the much-used metaphor of many fingers pointing at one moon.
It’s popular, because it allows for any path, any philosophy, any sharing, any mode of life to be an equal and equivalent teaching. It gives rise to platitudes such as:
- “We’re all talking about the same thing.”
- “Let’s agree to disagree.”
- “I’m just doing my thing, and everyone else is doing theirs.”
- “I speak my truth.”
