As humans, we divide the world into two, lots of two's. We ourselves are built this way. We are a trunk from which extrude two sides. We call one right, the other left. They are quite different from each other. Even our face is made up of two different faces. Our right face and our left face are not the same.
Yet we are not split apart. We have a core, a seamless core where the two cooperate, work together. Oh sure, we can be at odds with ourselves, split into twoness, but that can't last for long. We have to re-solve this di-lemma (living with two lemmas).
The healthy natural way of re-solution is to come back to our core. Our body shows us how to do this. Walking is not possible without our twoness cooperating. We do it effortlessly. "After you!" No, after you!" "Okay, thank you." And by the lords and lordesses, there we are walking!
There is hope, dear friends. There is hope.

DNA evidence traces all of us monkeys back to the Kung tribe in the middle of Africa. We are 99% identical at the chromosomal level. All the differences are minuscule and amount to deviations around our common core. And that's just at the physical level. The differences that divide us most are the stories we adopt or cocreate. We adhere to our tales so intently that we imagine "selves" that are at odds with one another. Some people who wield control over mass media exploit these differences and obscure awareness of the core. When we step back from our stories the core commonality can be seen once more. I agree heartily with your post mate and I am relieved that you didn't say "Yes we can" :-). - Stan
