I think duality is an extreme oversimplification of the human experience. For me such a perspective is often useless when it comes to making actual decisions in actual reality. Black and white are interesting concepts, but in reality most things consist of shades of gray.
It's just one more example of one of the infinite ways in which humans tend to classify and organize information. Noting two opposing extremes is sometimes useful, but often it isn't at all. Furthermore, the more complex something is, the more difficult it is to determine it's opposite. A circle is a relatively simple construction. How would one find the opposite of a circle? An anticircle? What does the equation of an anticircle look like? A circle encloses an area, would an anticircle have to enclose some sort of negative area, or would it simply not enclose an area at all? I don't know. I do know that i know and understand circles well enough, yet i have no clue what composes its opposite.
I guess i find little use for such a limited perspective.
