Beautiful Disgusting Duality

I used to hate the duality that lived inside of me. I wanted to simply live in the woods without a possession to my name. The next minute, I wanted to build a business empire and become one of the most successful entrepreneurs of all time.

This duality ate at me. It made me feel unworthy of life because it was as if I was two people wanting two different things & it was impossible to have them both. It felt as though I had a split personality or that I was simply crazy for not being able to make up my mind.

But then. Night & day, black & white, up & down, dark & light came knocking at my door and when I answered, I saw them as equal opposites. None of them are unworthy of existing and without one, the other would not exist. If you didn't have light, we wouldn't know that it was dark, it would just BE. So, without the dualities of having and not having or success by one definition or another compared to non-societal success of living in the middle of nowhere, I would not be able to define my existence.

So, the beautiful realization that inside me exists one of the fundamental powers of life came: duality or, the ability to be multi-faceted, the gift of human life.

Yes.

Love love love love.
