Read this story to remember this word:
In the valley of Decision, where paths diverged in the wood, there lived a wise woman known for her profound ambivalence towards life’s greatest questions. This ambivalence was not born of indecision but of a deep understanding that truth has many facets. Visitors came from far and wide, seeking her counsel on matters that weighed heavy on their hearts. Through her guidance, they learned that ambivalence was a natural part of the human condition, a sign of the thoughtful consideration of life’s complexities. Her legacy, a testament to embracing the dualities within, illuminates the path for those who find themselves in the valley of Decision, teaching that it is in the acceptance of ambivalence that we find the wisdom to make choices that are true to the multiplicity of our being.
