An open mind is not dualistic

Dualism is having an opinion and meeting an opposition and then arguing about it almost incessantly, and constantly being like this having or taking a position on things and going to war to defend it.

There's a third dynamic, like in a family with a child, a product of love, because a child is always from love, since a woman always has a choice to love her child or to seek to lose her child. Love keeps a child.

Open mindedness keeps the child it doesn't take a position that the child deserves to die because of the circumstances by which it was conceived. This has resonance with me because of the circumstances of my son's conception.
