•Young/old: involves feeling young by having a sense of initiation, possibility, energy, and potential, yet feeling old by having a sense of termination, stability and completion that can become associated with the fear of losing youth.
•Destruction/creation: involves destruction in the sense of the individual's mortality, his or her guilt and grievances, the harm the individual has done to others and that others have done to him or her, and the individual realising that he or she is not a hero. It involves creation in the sense of wanting immortality, being creative and wanting to provide products or things for oneself, for others or for human welfare.
•Masculine/feminine: is not easily distinguishable because of changing gender distinctions over time and culture. However, traditionally, the masculine has been associated with achievement, ambition, thinking, power, bodily strength and stamina, while the feminine has been associated with more unassertiveness, submissiveness, feeling and weakness.
•Attachment/separateness: involves the need to belong and to participate in the external world on the one hand, and on the other hand, besides attachment to the external world, to be primarily involved in one's inner world, exploring one's real or imagined self, which fosters personal growth and creative adaptation.
