From Enneagram of Personality.

I’m particularly interested pairs and poles as a way of getting a handle on an idea:

• Basic fear vs Basic desire;
• Vice vs Virtue;
• Stress/ Disintegration vs Security/ Integration.

An example

• Basic fear: Corruptness, imbalance, being bad
• Basic desire: Goodness, integrity, balance
