I’m very much in the left column here- and I’m realizing that I’m very judgmental of folks in the right column, the victim-thinkers. Their approach is so counter to mine that they are the hardest for me to generate compassion for. Seeing it laid out like this may help though.
I wonder if one day you’ll add another dimensions to these diagrams to show how each stance typically thinks of the other, and how they can better understand each other.
I hadn’t thought of putting that in the tables—it’s a good suggestion, thanks!
As with each of these, the third column is supposed to be accurate. The best discussion I know of, for this dimension of meaningness, is in the unfortunately mis-named Guru Papers. I have notes on it here; the bits on total responsibility vs victim think are in the notes to pp. 138-149.
