By our nature we’re always making distinctions. We live by our distinctions. We break up our day into morning, noon, afternoon and evening. We make distinctions between our left hand and our right hand. We break our town into north, south, east and west. We also link things together. We try to link an idea to an event to see if it fits. We developed generalizations to help us link things together. Generalization is linking an original idea or an image to a group of things. Sometimes, generalizations can be helpful but when we run into something different from the original idea, then it is time to regenerate a new idea.
