Friends:

Silly Confrontational Opposition:

"I"-Dentification = Egoism is leading to Aversion:         
"'I Am'...
Green, while 'You Are'... Blue";
"Therefore 'I Am' Against 'You'...";
"Therefore Are You Against Me...";
"Therefore I Fear You!!!";
"Therefore I Hate You!!!"

Non-"I"-Dentification = selflessness is leading to Harmony:
"This is Green, while that is Blue ..."
"So is it!   So be it!   Let it be!    Let it go!..."
"Polarity is Pain & Diversity is Noise..."
"Unity is Peace & Harmony is Bliss..."
"As we both & all can, so let us Meditate!"
Dwelling in Kind Peace is sweet ease.

Please repeat the argument exchanging the
Green/Blue pair with these common pairs:
Black/White, Rich/Poor, Educated/Uneducated,
High/Low, Man/Woman, Young/Old, Big/Small,
Intelligent/Stupid, Beautiful/Ugly, Strong/Weak,
Eastern/Western, North/Southern, RaceX/RaceY,
ReligionX/ReligionY, CultureX/CultureY, etc...
SkinX/SkinY NationalityX/NationalityY, etc...
PoliticalX/PoliticalY, ColorX/ColorY, etc...
FamilyX/FamilyY, GroupX/GroupY etc....!
Opposition is a diluted derivative of Hate!
Hate produces only suffering!
