Dialectic pairs

I have increasingly discovered the existence of balance in one’s views on life, since that which is right, it seems, undulates between two antipodes. I list a few of them here.

  1. Love and Truth
  2. Word and Power
  3. Wisdom and Revelation
  4. Determinism and Free Will
  5. Nature and Nurture
  6. Confidence and Skepticism
  7. Satisfaction and Dissatisfaction
  8. Rebuke and Encouragement
  9. Freedom and Equality
  10. Order and Liberty
  11. Unity and Diversity
  12. Assertion and Submission

(From Relational Dialectics Theory, by Baxter and Montgomery:)

  1. Expression and Nonexpression
  2. Stability and Change
  3. Inclusion and Seclusion

The list is growing…
