The bipolar vision

The paradox is at the heart of all things. The opposites necessarily coexist. The back of the hand and the front of the hand are dependent on each other for their existence. You can’t have one without the other.

Integrating this awareness into your daily life is to develop the bipolar vision. Looking at the opposites together does not mean that the truth lies somewhere in-between but that both extremes are equally true depending on the context.
Developing the bipolar vision is to recognize that there are no neat, clear-cut, easy answers in life. Here are some everyday paradoxes. Enjoy them!

1. I am a dynamic go-getter pursuing my goals with full force. At the same time, I am fully contented and happy with the way things are.
2. I am an insignificant creature in this huge universe. At the same time, I am the centre of the universe.
3. I am the wave. At the same time, I am the ocean.
4. I am equally comfortable being a prince and a pauper. I enjoy my possessions and when I lose them, I don’t feel sorry at all.
5. If I get the job, it’s fine. If I don’t, it is fine too.
6. If the train arrives on time, it’s fine. If it doesn’t, it is fine too.
7. Nothing is random and arbitrary. Nor is it fixed and predetermined.
8. While it’s important to have self-confidence, it’s equally important to have self-doubt.
9. Life is tough. It’s a breeze too.
10. While discipline is important for growth, too much discipline can kill my creativity.
11. When I add condiments to a dish, the taste improves. But if I overdo it, the taste deteriorates.
12. When I sharpen a knife too much, it becomes blunt.
13. Finally, the unipolar vision is one kind of vision and the bipolar vision is another kind of vision. Both are okay.
