Emotional Maturity

'The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function'  F. Scott Fitzgerald

I believe that the test of emotional maturity is to be able to sit with ambivalence; to feel two opposing feelings; to hold two contradictory ideas, and, rather than getting caught into thinking that you have to decide which is more true before you can act, to choose to act based on your values.
