1. one-sided

   every known thing (that is, a real thing we take into human knowledge as a concept) has complex content which is also living in that it can be deepened over time through human practice and experienced. each phenomenon is thus a contradiction. simplistic definitions which ignore the many-sidedness of all things by presenting only one side, offer an opposite to contradictory reality. this may of course, serve to assist analytical consideration and exploration, but such speculation does not describe reality, although it may well help to deepen understanding of a concept.
