@strypey I have a slightly different take on opposing—rather than superposition of different forces, it can be viewed as a multitude of sources of light, all acting in the same space, with the benefits of contrarianism being the possibility to glimpse into most or all corners of it.
Understanding this illumination as a metaphor for learning and exploration of you own self, others around you and ultimately the reality—that is the most cherished part of it for me.
