"Why?" The two of them were shocked, clearly not expecting Richard to say that. In their eyes, if there was no need for agreement, why would Richard even bother explaining?
Richard looked at the two of them and said, "Harry, and Cathy, you need to understand something. That is, ideas are meant to expand your horizons, not to limit them. The things I tell you about, whether it's 'Monism' or 'Dualism,' are summaries made by others.
They may be right, they may be wrong—it's not important. What's important is what you take from them. Then, use what you've learned to deduce and verify, and gradually come up with conclusions of your own.
Remember my words, connect it to reality, apply it in practice. If an idea can't do that, then it will always just be an idea, mere talk, useless and even troublesome."
