It is the task of the soul to embrace the paradox of polarities. There is a deep, soulful insistence, springing from the inner recesses of our being, that we live through certain roles: hater and hated, monster and victim. For the soul's journey it is indispensable to experience the tension between such divergent human tendencies in order to bring fully into play what has been obscure and troubling.
