From a Heraclitean, Daoist, or Darwinian standpoint, given that the only constant is change, you should be always ready to change where you stand, which is easier if your default stance is central; your elements should be usually balanced (as possible) so that you can have any imbalance of your preference when useful instead of being shackled to the inclinations usual (only sometimes "useful") to you.

I'll also mention Stephen "Edred Thorsson" Flowers, who described his research methods, and "Odian" behavior, as "bipolar": in research, a completely objective and a completely subjective phase, the results of which are then joined, and behaviors which can be either very traditional or very individualistic, as makes sense to someone with sufficient discernment. (And I think you *can* read this right in the myths about Odhinn without needing much modernist interpretation - unlike with myths about most other deities?)

I'll go ahead and assume loudly that jprussell would have useful stuff to say here as well.
