Most people tend to think in three or four dimensions. Up, down, right, left, forward, back... describe any point in space by coordinates, you know, the x, y, and z axis. And a diagonal movement, is moving in multiple directions equally and simultaneously, at exactly the same time. Which illustrates the fourth.
It all can be explained by perspective. If I were to move in a certain direction, I perceive myself as doing nothing but moving forward. You, however, may perceive me moving forward and to the right, based on your perspective. Yet, in my reality, I am moving down, to the right, and backward all at the same time, from the point of common origin.
See the conundrum?
I was recently asked a question. As I started to answer it, I was interrupted and told my response should be a simple "yes or no." So I answered in the binary way the person was requesting.
It seems my answer, caused a few more questions in my inquisitors mind...
Peace!
