This is, I think, a very perceptive observation, and follows also the mover/moved and male/female discussion earlier. Who is in the more powerful position, the mover or the moved? Who has more "power" in a relationship, the pursuer or the pursued?
i think that approach is wrong.
mover and moved would be pointless without each other.
leave that aside, it is questionable that one can even exist without the other.
it is probable that all the polarities are the parts of a single whole that balances into a total equilibrium (at point infinity, when there is perfect balance and there is stillness). perfect equilibrium means that one can never be more powerful than the other in the ultimate end. their effects should be equal.
however, it is possible that, in various manifestations, one part may be more active, and dominant than the other. this may reflect in mind, body, spirit situations and their internal and extrenal (with each other) relationships.
