[Johannesbrst]

Could it be the purpose to learn how to oscillate between the two poles and seeing the truth in both, rather than finding one as true and the other as not?

Thanks for the response; though I am going to challenge the underlying thought behind it.
I hear what you're saying, but would you be willing to offer practical insight of 'what seeing the truth in both' might look like?

Otherwise, it comes across as a basic "both sides" comment, which literally any person on the planet can issue.
"There's bad on both the side of liberals and conservatives," sure, but what is *your* vision for how things should work?
What is the signature Johannesbrst way of seeing things?

Note: And I realize that my wording made it seem like I had to choose one of the two poles. There's a high probability that the answer will come from integrating the two.

What have been put in bold is perhaps what I had in mind. Being able to hold both things true in your mind until a new perspective emerges. 

The frustration of keeping both perspectives in mind and seeing how they both are valid, indicate that there is an underlying level of seeing things that you haven't reached insight about yet. This causes frustration, which is why people seldom engage in this type of practise. 

I find the question of what a "signature way of seeing things" is to be somewhat problematic, as it implies there can be found a defined personal logic used for making all your decisions. 

If we identify to much with our persona, I.e. the image we present to other people, we feel the need to have a "definition" of who we are and how we are separated from others. 

The place where the persona emerges from is a place where we experience life, rather than a place where we try to give others a sensible understanding of what we stand for (the persona) and in the former there is no need for definitions of the self and how it makes decisions.

Definitions of ourselves are only needed for helping other people get a sense of who we "are", which by it nature will always be a great over-sinplification, and we need to see those definitions for their simplified purpose, rather than a necessity for ourselves to ponder.

But to give a sense of what has been guiding my way of thinking is finding sensible quotes by others that challenge the way I perceive things and try to remember those when I find myself in a position where a decision need to be made.
