extreme views of the pendulum

[reeay]

Of course you have multiple viewpoints. Different aspects of yourself have different needs/desires. When there is differences/conflict of viewpoints, that's when you are most likely to experience ambivalence (e.g., on one had I think/feel ____ and on the other hand I think/feel ___).

Sometimes viewpoints are used universally. So when you're in a new situation where the viewpoint doesn't apply anymore, you try to use it but it doesn't make sense. (e.g., when you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail and you try to hammer everything in sight).

Working on becoming aware, understanding, and accepting the various aspects of self and integrating them might help to see things in a flexible way. You become more aware of context of situations and able to adjust viewpoints etc. Most importantly, diametrically or radically conflicting viewpoints are more in the middle of that triangle... or maybe totally different.
