Duality is at the core of everything around us. There are two completely opposite ends and life survives in between. I understand that world can function only when there is pair of opposites balancing each other. Like day n night, hot n cold etc. All is illusion and yet so true. Is there no darkness? It is said there is only light and if an object is placed in its path, then there is shadow on its opposite side. That darkness is nothing but absence of light. and if there is all light there is no darkness. All is crystal clear. However don't we need dark lines and shadows to define an object. Aren't light and dark both necessity of life? Both are required for understanding each other and experiencing life.
News focuses on what is going wrong and it blows out of proportion in our mind. It shows us all darkness and negativity around us. However, we are alive because negativity and positivity are in balance. But too much media tries to project the chaos. Which is not truth at all. Most of the time world is in order...in things that we don't even notice. For example, there is so much of honesty...we go to shop, we pay and get the balance as well as the goods. We go on vacations. All is booked and we get comfort in return as per agreed terms. Most of the times things are working in order. We get services so easily. People are generally nice and helpful. Facilities, treatments, essential services. We are placed at appropriate places depending upon our karmic accounts, our place in spiritual evolution.
World is not cruel. Many many noble souls, like Monks and spiritual groups etc , pray to God to keep everyone safe. We don't want anyone to suffer. World was at war centuries ago too. This yin and yang always co exists because this is the root of human survival.
We build a strong house today, it is going to wear and tear subsequently. Cells in our body, die and are recreated every day. This is life...new then old, fresh today stale tomorrow, healthy today unhealthy later. This up down pendulum like swing in our lives continues.
I live in developing country and have seen so much since childhood. Because on one side there is this stinkingly rich class and on other side people are with nothing. Both are in pain of different kind. People in developed countries have different blessings. But Really??
We have come here to experience life in its different vibrations and frequencies, varied nature, variety, 'spice', which I sometimes agree with and sometimes don't. Pain and pleasure exist everywhere. Nothing is permanent. All is changing. We have to learn from this diversity. If it becomes all positive or all negative, world will come to an end.
We cannot have sun up all the time like we cannot have long long nights. We will not survive then. This polarity of opposites is at root of our existence.
