Why does everyone want to polarize early on?

[xise]

Here's a thought I've had running through my head for the last week and I'd like peoples opinions:

I think people are too focused on their polarization. Each path leads to the same place. Shouldn't people focus on self-awarness so when "the choice" does present itself they can do it fully knowing their self?

Deciding if you're STS/STO when you're largely ignorant of your own being is like picking between two books in the dark.

That's just how I see it. Any thoughts/arguments? Criticism is encouraged.

It is indeed supremely important to focus on self-awareness. It is only through plumbing the depths of your being can you determine whether you feel motivated/or vibrate by only the red/orange/yellow ray centers, or whether you vibrate green/blue as well.

Do you find it natural to only be concerned with self-survival (red), self-emotional-wellbeing and pleasure (orange), and power (over others and internal willpower) and nothing else? (I'm paraphrasing the lower energy centers, for I'm still balancing them so I may have incompletely stated their lessons!)

Or is more natural being a person who values survival, has a balanced emotional wellbeing and can enjoy pleasure, understands the need for power in an incarnation, but believes in the ideals of love (green) and honest communication (blue)?

For me, being loving and believing in truth was more natural than being the head honcho in a dog eat dog type mentality. Mind you, I wasn't at all bad at dog eat dog, it just felt so unnatural. It was self-awareness, but it also felt that my spirit had unconciously made the decision, I just had to un-brainwash myself from what I had learned from society/parents/peers/school/media.
