Hilary Barrett:
" 'Opposing' describes irreducible differences – desires, motivations and especially ways of seeing that diverge from one another. 'Opposing' people see differently even when they're looking at the same scene; they are utterly strange to each other, as if they came from different planets. With an inner state of 'Opposing', you contain mutually contradictory impulses – like two siblings under one roof – or see from two angles at once. You might see things not only for what they are, but also for what they mean, as if they were omens.
In small affairs, this kind of difference of view means good fortune. It's a challenge, a source of comedy, or a creative stimulus. In matters of great personal importance, though, where people's sense of identity is threatened by a different way of seeing, it will stir up survival instincts and trigger conflict."
