Thank you for your appreciative response, I am pleased very much when I can surprise someone else :)
Often, we are not really aware of such things that are so self-evident. The most impressive abilities of us humans belong to us like our skin and are so normal that we hardly notice them. Unless you work with them like all writers, screenwriters or even Gestalt psychologists do. In my training, a very exciting module dealt precisely with this, with the stage that every human being enters in his or her inner being, as you say, in just a fraction of a second, and where every situation in which, for example, a decision has to be made, is played by the various characters of this inner stage. We trainees were asked by our teacher to imagine a certain scene in which a spontaneous decision had to be made and we were asked to write down which different voices and arguments appeared on the stage. I found the results fascinating and have never forgotten it since. The same scene, the same location, the same person has the possibility to vary here at any time.
Because this is so, because the human being is capable of taking countless perspectives, it is sometimes so difficult to be asked to make a fundamental decision about something. I therefore find principles helpful to have an orientation, but they become a shackle if one wants to emphasise or even force a "one for all rule" too much. The schizophrenic mind knows that this is not possible; opposed to this is the part that believes in the idea of the one-dimensional and is therefore prone to error.
