Why Like Terms Repel

Opposite terms-poles-charges attract, like terms repel. In today’s world most people who rampantly –constantly fight each other seem to have more in common than they can imagine. Why? Because if it is true that like terms repel it means that the people constantly fighting are like terms that have so many things in common that’s why they fight. In other words they have so many similarities-“identicalities” that’s why they fight. For example If in a house Peter and James are always constantly fighting, it must be because they both always unintentionally happen to demand the same thing, wants especially not necessarily in terms of needs but it could also be needs. Their approaches to things must be similar which explains the reason for why they quarrel all the time. But it is their choice because they can both choose to agree. What happens when they eventually choose-decide to agree? When they eventually agree, their bond-relationship-friendship might-would-could seem to be as strong as their disagreement – but their disagreement and agreement can be in the same proportion but can never have the same end result or product-sum total because the sum total of their agreements-unity will be more than the sum total of their disagreements. Hence they could end up becoming the best of friends. In a world like ours both rules apply like terms repelling and unlike terms attracting but as humans with our large, structured, orderly calculative and highly complicated brain capable of calculating what a computer-robot cannot we should know better that the sum total of our unity-agreements-synchrony is more than our competitions our disagreements. So, we would be better off without disagreements, I mean business wise and other wise, agreement would benefit us as a whole more than what our quarrels-wars leave us with.
