Ying - Yang

Fear - Courage

Joy - Loneliness

Boredom  -Excitement

Love - Suffering

What is one of these concepts without the other? Can any of these exist without it's counterpart?

Without fear, courage wouldn't exist, because the very act of courage is not to stop being scared, but to face your fear. 

Without those moments of solitude, how would we have the time to collect our thoughts and appreciate the people we spend time with in our lives? How would we have a positive effect in the lives of our love ones if we didn't have the time alone to think about how to make them happy?

And when is it when we feel the most enthusiastic or excited? What brings the butterflies to your stomach? Without the state of mind of 'waiting' or 'being bored', how will we have the time to build the anticipation for enthusiasm or excitement?

And suffering? I hear some of you say, what on earth is the point in that???? Will we ever rid the world of it? Well, aslong as their is loss, there will always be suffering. But Love is sufferings faithful partner. You have to let a wave of suffering, or a loss, pass into you and through you, to realize love and wonderful happenings are right behind , waiting for you to experience pure joy again in all its glory. It's only when we suffer the most that we long for love the most, and it then comes knocking at your door.

But of course, for us, especially this day and age, this has become very difficult to comprehend. We get stuck inside the dark negative concepts and never see the light  at the end of the tunnel. But if you don't believe that the positive counter part  is only round the corner, you won't be able to see it. It will pass you by without you noticing anything. And if you had your eyes close, in your mind it would have never even existed. 

And so the puzzle that remains is, how do we learn  to open our hearts to have complete faith in the worlds balance?
