I come from Eastern/Asian culture. I'm surprised to see Western culture swings. When I first got to live in Western culture, everyone was talking about equality as truth. There was equality everywhere: gender, income, race, marriage, geography. Now we talk about inequality as, maybe, the accepted truth. People talk about tail, asymmetric risk taking.
I think Eastern philosophy has a balanced view on this. There're Yin & Yang. The system eventually needs to find a balance. Stop swinging, start living.
- ativzzz 7y agoBecause real life and philosophy are often in conflict with each other. On top of that, cultural values change and fluctuate with time. > Stop swinging, start living. Swinging is living. Life is constantly changing, or "swinging". It is inevitable.
