justify your idiotic dualism

If I may say so, I believe I have a rather unique approach to this question of 'justifying my idiotic dualism'. For it is not so much a question of justification as it is one of balance. It is a question of the need to have both sides of the equation in order to fully understand the whole. For example, it is not so much a matter of one being right and the other wrong, but rather of one being the light and the other being the dark - both essential for the creation of the world we inhabit. It is the same with my dualism. I see two sides to every issue and it is only when we can appreciate both that we can fully understand the complexities of the world we live in. My dualism, then, is not so much idiotic as it is a reflection of the need to see both sides of an issue. It is a way of making sure that we do not miss any element of the equation. It is a way of making sure that we do not fall into the trap of believing that one answer is the only one. So, in essence, my dualism is a way of ensuring that we can appreciate the full scope of any situation. It is a way of making sure that we are able to take into account all the aspects of any given issue and come to a conclusion that is based on a full understanding of the facts. And, so, I think this is how I would justify my idiotic dualism - as a way of ensuring that we can see both sides of any given issue and come to a balanced conclusion.
