No living, without dying.
No happiness, without sadness.
No love, without hate.
There is no room for neutrality. In each attribute lies the rejection of its negative, thus affirming its existence. We say we exist because we may well not.
Life is unfortunately highly problematic. We seek happiness from vices and self-destruction. This is not meant to be a religious comment. We live and thus seek death. We seek happiness by creating eventual sadness. Self-love, with a result equivalent to self-hate. We destroy ourselves through smoking, drugs, gambling and alcoholism, yet we gain pleasure from it. Decadence, there is no reconciliation between a long life and a happy one. We are a confused people, living for the moment and incapable of a broader view of life, love and legacy.
