Line 30:
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]] -- The Red Oni tends to be Harmony, and the Blue Discipline.
* [[Romanticism Versus Enlightenment]] -- In general, Romanticism is Harmony and Enlightenment is Discipline.
* [[Science Is Bad]], [[In Harmony
* [[Slobs Versus Snobs]] -- Slobs are Harmony and Snobs are Discipline
* [[Technician Versus Performer]]: One contestant is good because he worked at it (Discipline), another because it seems to come naturally to him (Harmony).
Line 61:
* The path of the [[Martial Pacifist]] requires both Discipline and Harmony. In fact, this path to Harmony requires Discipline to follow. Many martial artists would view this trope as a [[False Dichotomy]]. Removing either facet can lead to a variation on the [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]].
* Many religions teach love, harmony, and acceptance. It takes true discipline to reach the point where you love your enemy as yourself.
* In [[Watership Down]] Cowslips warren is a [[Utopia Justifies the Means|Utopia]] of the extreme of harmony with no Chief Rabbit, no need to forage, and no struggle to survive-- and an [[Town
* On [[Firefly]] Simon is an example of Discipline. Though as it happens it is possible to kill him ''nothing and nobody'' can break him and River only melts him. Kaylee is an example of Harmony, with her love of everybody and her love of Serenity(an odd example of "harmony" being represented by a machine and it's mechanic). River too, represents Harmony the way she loves to dance, and mistakes a gun for a leafy twig. Mal of course, is the epitome of Discipline, as his resolve is made of iron.

** The Colors Red and Black are a bit harder to pin down. Red is next to Green and quite opposed to Blue and by extension discipline, but isn't so much harmonious as it is passionately explosive. While it's the color most in touch with it's inner reckless self, it's quite self destructive. Red decks can deal damage very, ''very'' fast, but run the risk of petering out quickly or burning the Red mage himself. Black on the other hand is also self destructive... but because it embraces [[Power At a Price]], and ''no price'' is too steep for absolute power. Black does tend towards the discipline end of things, being next to Blue and wanting to control others for its own ends. Which is why Black themed decks have powerful effects with "unconventional" costs or high upkeep. A clever Black mage might even trick an opponent into paying that cost.
