<You have to remember that there is a large gap between Eastern and Western perceptions and therefore thought process: We Americans [Westerners squared] tend to be overly object conscious... what's happening now, overweight the latest data point, oblivious to background/long term causations and complexities in favor of real time categorizations and actions>
Talk about wild generalizations and stereotypes. I haven't noticed my thinking and yours on some existential "western" harmonic.
Then again, I'm an easterner = so far east, I'm nearly up to the date line, so I guess that makes me more eastern than the easterners, or do I have to have facial features and black hair to get the right eastern thinking?
<You Easterners OTOH overweight things like relationships, backgroung causations and causes, the 'big picture', and tend to ignore or downplay the latest event... rather looking to make sense of it in a larger context rather than taking action. >
Well, I do overweight relationships, background causations, not to mention causes and issues too. Talk about the BIG PICTURE, that's my thing. I just love the overall cosmos view looking both infinitely outward and inward, but from a viewpoint where I aren't.
As you say, the latest events slide right by me. I don't even have a tv for goodness sakes. I go for the large context and avoid taking action - though I hasten to add I regularly get exercize to maintain my acute eastern causational aspects.
