I could go on and on. Perhaps you can think of other examples?
Opposites are mirror images of one another. Go to your mirror and notice that right and left are on opposite sides. Seen through a mirror left and right reverse.
In our culture, opposites are all about divide and conquer. Its how they, the powers that be i.e., corporations, government, institutionalized dogmatic religions, and narrow minded scientists etc. keep us in line while generating profit for themselves in terms of power, money, and status.
For example, the so-called left leaning cable news channels such as CNN are pitted against the right leaning cable news channels such as Fox. These are orchestrated drama shows that make us afraid of everything from those Middle Easterners to the potential for a couple of inches of snow.
Well, here in Maine, it's been more than a couple of inches this year. More like several feet. Yet, here I am writing! I am still breathing. Nor do I get excited over a coming snowstorm. Yes, I must admit, I am looking forward to spring and am feeling it in the air!
Divisive fear mongering is planned for. Divide and conquer. Again, CNN vs Fox are pitted against each other to keep the general population mesmerized and stupefied. Just keep us entertained by drama shows! Meanwhile, lets watch those commercials to keep our jailers rich and happy. And who benefits? Us? I don't think so.
Think about this: Most of us work several hours per week for a corporation whose job is to make more and more money for their stockholders and owners. Meanwhile, at least in my lifetime, pay and benefits have diminished while worker representation is almost as extinct as dinosaurs via outsourcing. Then, there is the dumbing down of our children through the absurdity of the "No Child Left Behind Act".
And we continue to support these people by working for them for less money and benefits while buying their products and services?
Work harder for less and become more impoverished as you go! "That's what I want for my grandkids!" I say in sarcasm. I also doubt you want the same for your kids or grandkids.
