Left & Right: Ideological Opposites, Psychological Twins
"The ego is terrified of groundlessness, so it grabs a chair. It clings to labels because labels give it continuity. When someone says, ‘I am a Leftist’ or ‘I am a Rightist,’ this is not identity but insecurity. The chair is a crutch. The row is a refuge. The ego loves ideology because ideology is a respectable form of bondage. The real question is not Left versus Right. You were not born to sit on the Left or the Right. You were born to stand free."
