It keeps us locked in a false hope that is proving to be more obvious over time. Unlike the days when TV and newspapers, plus a little gossip, were locked into place as the dominant myth making devices, people were more easily manipulated by a dualistic system that supported one ideal, ideology, and direction for the populace at large.

With loyalty to parties, no matter how entrenched they are, we find ourselves making more compromises in order to serve their agendas. And then, we find, that their agendas represent an agenda that is largely foreign to us, self-serving, and based on capitalistic goals that betray our needs, wants, and interests.

In the end, our dominance to what seems to be normal and natural and about choice, (since it has prevailed so long) turns out to be a form of placation and a sporting event were we are privileged to root for this or that, but have very little impact or say so on the plays being made. Neither do we participate in the bounty of the game that is being played over and above our heads as a people.

We merely get similar results over and over as the cycle goes round and around while one hand feeds the other in the supposedly warring parties we observe.

After all, the Yin and the Yang merely represent two, polar opposites that are actually manifestations of a oneness.
