Maybe the problem isn’t so much with the binary, as it is with the lack of respect for them.

When both sides of the dynamic see themselves on the road to nirvana and those going the other way as misbegotten fools, it does make the issue of appreciating the circularity these dichotomous relationships manifest that much more difficult.

We are driven by our desires and guided by our judgement. The heart and the head. Is this a dichotomous relationship we can easily shed?

Society is that relationship between organic energies bubbling up, as civil and cultural forms coalesce in. Youth and age, liberal and conservative.

It seems to me the only way to transcend these polarities is to accept the tension and balance between them is what makes our reality possible.

Even galaxies are energy radiating out, as form coalesces in.
