the ethical integrity of opposites as experience

If we ignore that the self-regulating cohesive whole and order which is the fundamental balance of all opposites within us also is that which exists in nature everywhere around us, we soon begin to defend ourselves against the sides of it which we do not want to reconcile us with or know of. Which leads to us trying to free ourselves from things that, in our one-sidedness, we cannot accept as something in ourselves, or that it is part of the nature we must respect. So we separate ourselves from it because we cannot allow it and instead idealize its opposite to make ourselves morally invulnerable to that which we have separated out. We come to believe that everything will be fine as long as we indomitably strive for this perfection. Unaware that it is this perfectionist striving of ours that is the psychic root of the evil that will happen to us. No relationships and no society built on this ideal will ever last. They will always perish in its own opposites.
