"Every truth has two sides."

Are we really sure this is true? Lee said it all the time. He even built some interesting doctrines because of the supposed duality of everything.

But can we truly say that every truth has two sides? Does that lead us to seek for something in truth that may not be there? Are we presuming another side and therefore compelled to find and analyze it no matter how outrageous it may be?

I'm not saying anything about any particular post. I'm directly questioning this LC "axiom of truth." The problem with axioms is that they are stated as true, but you cannot prove it, you can only see the result as consistently true. Is this axiom really true? Are all of the "other sides" that Lee came up with actually true, and is it correct to always assume that there must be another side?

(Is this worthy of it own thread?)
