There is a philosophical belief about the dualism or the pairing nature of things in the universe. For example, as long as human nature is concerned, an individual can either be awake or asleep. While the day naturally governs the lively aspect of man’s activities in the conscious of his being, the night provides man with a restful atmosphere that allows his spirit to travel and wander in the unknown world. On the other hand, the day brings natural light to man while the night brings natural darkness to man. Each of them (day or night) do not cross the time frame as specified by the rules of nature. This means that, no matter how terrify the night is, it must give way for the day to come. Also, man’s activities of the day will not last longer than 12 hours as the night must definitely put a hold on them.
The other side of the dualism of nature can be express in terms of success and failure. For example, every conscious plan made by man ends in one of the two: Success or failure. The desiring nature of man is to be successful in anything he does. Yet failure sometimes has its fair share in most of plans made by man. This means that success and failure are two common things man must be prepared for when make plans to better his life. In terms of movement, it is either a backward or forward. In the military especially during war, it is ether one advance (forward) or retreat (move back). When a woman is pregnant, the parents normally expect the child to be either a boy or a girl. This is because, in a normal circumstance, only two sexes (male or female) can be the expected result of any birth.
Also, in civilize world where choice of a citizen is well respected, only one of two choices are given for people to make. For example, the American government created only two political groups (parties): The Democrat and the Republican. During election, citizens find it easy to choose a competent leader that will lead their nation base on presentations of the aspiring candidates. This means that, you are either on the left side or on the right in your choice making. This is unlike Nigeria where new political parties keep springing-up during every season of election.
In the court of law, after all facts are presented from both sides (plaintiff and accused), the presiding judge either finds one guilty or not guilty. This means that such a person is either freed or sentenced. There can’t be anything more than this in a normal court judgment.
Base on the above, it can be observed that almost everything in the world is governed by the natural law of dualism. This law is more pronounced when an individual is to make a choice in life. By simply saying YES or NO makes him/her responds to the law naturally without knowing. The pluralism in choice given sometimes make this law inactive but not totally non-existent. For example, any form of analysis that makes use of multiple choice like A,B,C, and D has hidden fact that tied the choices into two groups. On the whole, life is symmetrical in approach and it is either one chooses to be left or right. He or she can not be on both sides in decision making. At whatever thing you do, always remember to take a clear stand/side as doing so helps in putting things straight and bringing progress not only in your life but also to the society you live.
