Generally spoken our mind is mainly operating in a dual modus, wandering between automatically emerging polarities such as: good or bad, right or wrong, negative or positive, unpleasant or pleasant. Do we have other options?
Season's Greetings and a Happy New Year 2026 - wishing you new perspectives in private and professional undertakings. As follows some remarks to contemplate on:
The genuinely technical term ‚triggered‘ is now widely used in the frame of human communication. ‘I am triggered by someone or something’ is somehow misleading and deceptive. ‘Evidence-based' mechanical, reactive patterns ignore, that - despite a labelled ‘trigger’ - it will first and foremost remain an individual reaction, that have to be dealt with properly - although it might be easier blaming others.
Unfortunately the temporarily ‘Zeitgeist‘ concerning ‘wokeness’, ‘cancel culture’ as well as ‘political correctness’ is supporting rather the latter. It's important to recognise, that blaming external factors for our reactions may hinder the ability to address underlying issues within ourselves.
Nevertheless there is another side to the coin in delivering an indicator regarding a lack of professional empathy, ownership and the level of self-reflection.
Last but not least, all the way long we will be back to ‘square one’: What will be the outcome, if I don’t have an idea what and who am I?
