We live from dualities

Did you notice that we appreciate a thing or a person only in the moment when we are away from it/him/her? The human being needs to compare in order to decide if something is good or bad. We cannot recognize the good as it is, in its pure form. We need the bad to exist as well in order to compare it, so we can tell the difference. We need pain in order to appreciate a warm and good feeling. We are such strange creatures. We sometimes live in pain, but because we didn't meet the pleasant feeling yet (or we didn't hear there is a better feeling), we manage ourselves to believe it is good enough and we don't want to change. But in the same time, when everything is good and pleasant, we create the thought that maybe something better exists and we become sad and live with the eternal recklessness that we don’t have the best of the best. We seem to not be at ease when everything is smooth and pleasant and calm. While the bad, the dramatic, the cloudy and noisy make us feel better, engaged and confident. I still wonder why...
