Why is the negative polarity clever?

I also see it that way. A balanced path is far better than full commitment as tempting as either side may be it's not the right way, at least for me.
The light/love can be blinding but the darkness can also be blinding. In the end they are one. Duality is a illusion.

This might be true at the level of existence of the Infinite Creator, where absolute unity resolves all paradoxes, but at our level of existence, positive polarity and negative polarity are incompatible. They cannot coexist simultaneously.

Notice how your mind tends to generate positive thoughts automatically when you are at a high vibrational/emotional level. Likewise with negative thoughts if you are in a state of negativity. You don't feel a connection to negative thoughts if you are feeling genuinely happy, and there is a deep disharmony within the self when feeling depressed and being around happy people.

An action itself cannot be both positive and negative, either. We are either controlling or accepting a situation; loving someone or suppressing them; being radiant or absorbent. These are mutually exclusive states that can happen in succession one to another, but not in true simultaneity.

The idea of polarity is whether one life as a whole is going to embody more the values of one polarity or the other. Trying to be skilled at both polarities in one's life is a contradiction. It entails living life without having a clear goal or set of values in sight. Aka: the sinkhole of indifference. If we feel that love is a good value to live for in some situations, but that many other instances require control, strength and imposing ourselves on other people, then we are saying that those people do not deserve love. It's a life lived in an aimless way, without true commitment to the values of either polarity, and therefore, it will take us nowhere.

The role of one's negative side (or shadow) for those of us aiming at positive polarity is to give us a kind of inner strength and commitment to the values of love, acceptance, compassion, and so on. It's what makes us hold to those values with absolute determination, knowing what we stand for, and deflecting every blow coming at us from those who try to undermine or ridicule the values of the positive polarity. We act in true positive polarity by respecting the other person's freedom to ridicule the values of positive polarity, but inside of us we use the strength of our shadow side to claim with confidence where we stand, even if the whole world is against that. This is the role of the negative side within us once it has been recognized, accepted, loved and invited into the light.
