Yeah. This is why I feel bickering about politics fpr example is useless. I mean it has to be done. I have no delusions that I can fight and argue and win and change the world once and forever. I also have no delusions that "my side is right" which in itself becomes a complex and unwinnable philosophical argument. I think that left and right are defined and shaped by the other an that they each represent 1/2 of the swing of a pendulum where both cannot exist without the other... An when one side swings too far, it is countered by the other and so on. My arguing about abortion (as an example) in my view, simply creates another that will argue the opposite... in a wider, cosmic sense. The stronger my argument and the louder my voice, the louder and stronger that counter voice will be.
Politics is a great example of that. Left an right, stand in direct opposition, each sure only they are correct and neither change anything in the big scheme of things. They simply balance each other out.. Extremes are also necessary in both parties because the extremes define the center. Balance.
