Duality

sorenbarrett

To be true there are always two

For a green hue you need yellow and blue

Without darkness there can be no light

There must be separation for one to reunite

Until we begin there can be no end

No forgiveness without one to offend

By accepting ignorance we find knowledge at length

It is in weakness that we find strength

Only by being blind can you see

It takes pride to have humility

There is no courage without fear

It is in lies the truth does appear

You become rich when poverty you choose

By giving up everything you have nothing to loose

There must be a promise for it to be broken

One needs to be asleep, to from a dream be awoken

There' would be no peace without strife

Only in death can you find life

Nothingness leads to infinity

Without you, there can be no me

          Thanks so much for the read friend. Yes the human mind itself seems set to see things in dualities, black and white, right and wrong, self and others. Maybe some day we will be able to broaden that view.

              🌈 Life's dichotomy: separation and reunion, darkness and light. 🔄 The dance of beginnings and endings reveals profound truths. 🤝 Forgiveness and complexity coexist on the slate of existence. 🧠 Knowledge emerges from the surrender of ignorance. 💪 Strength blooms in the soil of vulnerability. 👀 True vision found in the depths of blindness. 🦸‍♂️ Courage born from the shadows of fear. 🕵️ Lies unveil the elusive face of truth. 💰 Richness discovered in letting go of material ties. 🔄🤲 Trust woven delicately through promises and uncertainties. ☮️💔 Peace emerges from life's conflicts, and in death, life persists. 🌌🔄 From nothingness springs the infinite cosmos. 🌟🤝 Unity prevails in the cosmic dance of duality.
              Great thought
