Then there's the idea attributed to Hegel that truth is the sum of different opinions.
I think the problems arise, not so much theoretically (in the abstract), but in how yin/yang can be applied to real-world problems. I think Jordon Peterson would argue that the right's compulsion towards order is a basic social necessity while the left's propensity towards change should be effected only within the right's hierarchical order.

This begs us to think. It is not passive but suggests we can better fight for needed social change with a healthy dose of moral humility.

@OwlInASack what is moral humility? ...a good question! I am certainly as opinionated as anyone, and not about to apologize for that. To me, it is a practice of reminding myself not to be too quick to dismiss the concerns of the other side. (That Doesn't mean accepting their alternative facts) I don't always understand them, but the better understanding I can gain of their concerns, the better able I will be to speak persuasively to them, as well as to factor those expressed concerns into my own understanding of policy solutions to societal problems.
