Does this sound right? Is this what the polarity looks like? It might seem one side feels more positive than the other or maybe one-side feels negative but I don’t think that’s the way to look at it. For example, Love versus Fear, Love might seem like the more virtuous attribute but Fear is a survival mechanism – it’s what keeps us alive, teaches us not to touch fire, be cautious of dangerous situations.
Or we might look at Feminine energy and say that these are the more virtuous, idealistic values but someone might say it’s a little naive to try and uphold these values because in the end, it’s the competitive mindset that reaps the rewards.
And just to reiterate, these are all values we have on a spectrum and not defining men versus women, I’m talking about different energy on a spectrum, differences and similarities we share. We all have these values in some degree or another.
