Dilemna of Duality

The concept of duality is not limited to physics or astronomy. What is truly interesting is that duality is as real a truth as life & death. Perhaps even larger a truth. This is because duality aptly defines all that can be possibly defined. For e.g. it may not be easy to describe what are the likely characteristics of a particular person, place or event but it is much easier and more pragmatically comprehensive to describe what are not the characteristics of the given subject. Also the meaning of one exists only when the meaning of its dual counterpart or compliment exists.

To exemplify this, there are uncountable pairs to study. Life & Death, Light & Dark, Proximity & Distance, Love & Hatred, Happiness & Gloom, Victory & Defeat are some of the more human-defined pairs. Duality pretty much is a law of nature too. Mornings & Nights, 2 shores of an ocean, Origin & Decline, Male & Female are perfect duals of each other. The existence of one is meaningless without the other. In fact without the pair existing in simultaneity, the existence of one is impossible to identify, given that it does exist. Hence arises the most important thought to reflect upon, if good doesn't exist without the evil, then evil is as important as the good. If there is no life without death, even death must be held in as much light and as much celebration. If the feeling of love cannot be fulfilling without experiencing hate, does it not become important to accept and embrace hatred as well?

When we do know that duality exists, both the sides being of equal energy and importance, why is it that we tend to favor only one of the elements? Why is that we grow affinity towards one and repel the other? Do we blame it on the human nature of greed for what is socially more acceptable or we do understand that we have failed to evolve into beings who can view and appreciate things with balance and unbiased judgment?

I further ask, is asking questions enough...if not where do we find answers? Extroverts would say travel, introverts would explore themselves. I say, just watch and believe!
