Certainty comes from a consistent narrative. Critical thinking offers a different point of view that helps us evaluate situations and make our decisions.
When we think from opposing values, we must pay close attention and understand what drives our thinking process.
"Yes, people should clean their station after the class because that's how everyone contributes to a shared space. But when people are in a hurry, they should do what's easy for them."
When we equally value care and doing what's easy, it's challenging to believe we know what we stand for.
Instead of chasing the shortcut (doing what's easy), it helps to go upstream and ask ourselves why it is critical to believe them.
