Wow, this is a very good post and deep in its meanings. I love your analysis and the way you simplified such a complex topic. Its true what you said about the duality that many think in terms of, and what many do not recognize is that there is a group of people that exploit this human tendency.
I also believe that the solution is "love"... That's why the people in power use the opposite of love, "hate" to divide us.
Until we understand that "love" is the answer, this wonderful world we have been blessed with will continue to be underappreciated. I agree completely with you too that it starts within yourself!
