Breaking the East vs. West Myth

The entire idea of "East vs. West" is a complete fabrication. A writer exposed how the West literally

invented the "Orient" as a stereotyped, inferior, and exotic place. This wasn't just

for art and books; it was a power move to justify colonialism and control. Knowledge was used

as a weapon. But his point wasn't to be "anti-West" or to claim the East was perfect.

He warned that the answer to this isn't creating a reverse stereotype of the West.

The whole point is to break free from these "us vs. them" boxes and recognize our shared

human experience.
