Relative And The Absolute: The Nature Of Duality

“Well I, think that the mind of a serial killer and the mind of the detective represent the duality we face as people.” In this quote, Paul Guifoyle shows a perfect example of the dualities for right and wrong actions that humans gain when other humans give us different perception of their opinions.

In today’s society some humans would see the detective as the honorable man, the one out to solve the crime. While humans would see the criminal as the atrocious man, but little do humans realize, the detective has to think the same way as the criminal to get his job done. This example is no different than Caesar as the detective and Cassius as the criminal. Cassius saw Caesar to be a dreadful man, but all of Rome saw him as an honorable, great

A color blind man sees a flower, it is light-green. A dog sees a flower it is dark blue. A blind man doesn’t see the flower. A woman born with more cone photoreceptors in her eyes can see a spectrum of more colors: she says it’s “_____” (not yet identified color). They are all looking at the same flower. These are all relative observations, so who is to conclusively describe the color of the flower? Nobody. Not a single one knows the true color of the flower, but at the same time they all know the color of the flower. The flower is all colors, and it is but one.” (Egrim 3)

No one knows the real color of the flower yet everyone knows it. Just like in some of society today someone else's perception causes us to have a duality. As shown in the flower example, the people seeing the flower most likely thought they were seeing the correct color. Then, the people find out their perception could be wrong and others could be right, giving the people in this example a duality of “I could be right”, or “I could be wrong”. Perception of other human's reaction, to an item or action causes one human to have duality based on the chance that other people have different

Brutus begins to believe that Caesar is an awful man while some of Rome believes he is their savior. By the time Caesar realizes that Cassius has turned Brutus against him, it is too late. Shakespeare asserted “It tú, Bruté?- Then fall, Caesar.” (III, i, 77). Brutus stabbed Caesar in the heart and killed him. If it were not for the Plebeians believing Caesar was an honorable, amazing man and Cassius convincing Brutus he was not, there would not have been such an outbreak in Rome when Brutus killed Caesar. Many Romans thought Caesar was a wonderful man, but after his death, many plebians changed their
