Someday I would understand why we have to cut them up like that instead of just making them sentences.

Poetry is the bridge between thought and feelings, between thinking and emotion. Breaking up logical sentences like that disrupts the juggernaut of linear thought and allows the flow of emotions to have a central role.

The human mechanism which is responsible for switching from one function, say "thinking", to another, like "feeling", when logic doesn't work is the same mechanism that is responsible for an un-Dualized person to start resembling an inept version of their Dual.

When life throws things at you which your two dominant functions can't handle, and places you in crisis, your weaker functions take over and try to salvage what they can. These weaker functions are your Dual's stronger functions, so you can appear to act like your own Dual. However, your weaker functions are still weak, and so you can't perform as well as your Dual would in that situation.

This is the reasoning behind the assertion that a Dual is the best match for us, and this becomes apparent most obviously when both you and your Dual are in crisis, because you can then each effortlessly fix your Dual's problems.

Absent a life crisis, and your Dual seems to be a really different person, who incorporates every feature and characteristic that you rejected on your way to success in your own life, opting instead for the functions which make you the person whom you are.
