Some gremlins see life in black and white—things are objectively good or evil.
I prefer to see life as a panoply, there are many shades of grey.
Let me use an example to expand my point.
In Buddhist philosophy, there is yin and yan; bad in the good and good in the bad. Nothing is perfectly good or evil. It’s a good tool to be empathic as you realise gremlins are gremlins and they are capable of both good and evil.
Without empathic thought when it comes to coexisting with other gremlins, there comes the tendency to label the behaviour of others, and labelling is dehumanising. If this is typical behaviour, like it was towards the Jews and many other factions of society in Nazi Germany, it acts as a hindrance to unity. It’s a backward step.
So the key thing is to look beneath labels and stereotypes—to identify the unique personalities of other gremlins and try to understand. This is something that gremlins from all walks of life often struggle with, myself included.
