"Out there beyond the ideas of right and wrong doing, there is a field. I'll meet you there."

Rumi

We teach our kids to form their own opinions and to be able to take sides on issues. However, when doing this, we need them to know that they do not need to be married to their views. By trying to see both sides of every argument they can avoid the trap of always making judgments and constantly seeing everything as right or wrong. They can then look at situations with compassion and understanding rather than intolerance. And when they have looked at things from all sides they are ready to decide, and when they act on their decision they will act justly and skillfully.
