| Overall I have found much that is impressive about Western society. In particular, I admire its energy and creativity and hunger for knowledge. On the other hand, a number of things about the Western way of life cause me concern. People there have an inclination to think in terms of "black and white," and "either, or," which ignores the facts of interdependence and relativity. Between two points of view they tend to lose sight of the gray areas. Also, with thousands of brothers and sisters for neighbors, so many people appear to be able to show their true feelings only to their cats and dogs. |

| "I only wanted to see what the garden was like, your Majesty---" "That's right," said the Queen, patting her on the head, which Alice didn't like at all: "though, when you say `garden'---_I've_ seen gardens, compared with which this would be a wilderness." Alice didn't dare to argue the point, but went on: "---and I thought I'd try and find my way to the top of that hill---" "When you say `hill,'" the Queen interrupted, "_I_ could show you hills, in comparison with which you'd call that a valley." "No, I shouldn't," said Alice, surprised into contradicting her at last: "a hill _can't_ be a valley, you know. That would be nonsense---" The Red Queen shook her head. "You may call it `nonsense' if you like," she said, "but _I've_ heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary!" |
