When things are polarized, one affects the other and vise versa. This is my view at least. I could say the same thing between a feeler and a thinker when it comes to MBTI or the two extremes between the top 2% in conscientiousness and the bottom 2%. They essentially split people in two.
Sorry, late to the party here, Quick, I'm sure someone has brought up unicorns or leprechauns or something like that in the thread right? So is nonbelief in unicorns some kind of belief in-and-of-itself? Or is it simply a lack of belief in unicorns? Is not playing soccer a sport?
I don't think belief or lack of belief in unicorns is the same sort of thing here. I think we are talking about a MAJOR difference in perspective that has affected the humans on the earth for a very long time (Israel going to war against those who don't believe the same thing for instance). When we are talking about a belief or lack of belief in something that has been so influential to humans it's not the same ball game, it's not even the same fucking sport (Pulp Fiction reference, just because I can).
But your individuality and your present need will be swept away by change,
and what you now ardently desire will one day become the object of abhorrence.
