"So you wrote about opposites in your last blog and how you have to watch for signs. i gues i'm thinking if life is always going to have opposites? like if it will always make you choose between things or if it ever gives you a straight answer- unlike you! lol
Long time reader, first time writter"
Now we're talking reader. Now we're talking!!! What an amazing question... psychological but more philosophical question. Now this will be interesting to write about...why re-invent the wheel. For the answer to this I will turn to Dr. Carl Jung.
In his book, "Man and his Symbols" he writes this:
"The sad truth is that man's real life consists of a complex of inexorable opposites- day and night, birth and death, happiness and misery, good and evil. We are not even sure that one will prevail against the other, that good will overcome evil, or joy defeat pain. Life is a battleground. It always has been, and always will be; and if it were not so, existence would come to an end."
We all need challenges. You need strife and difficulty to build your own resiliency (the ability to overcome a challenge or stress) and ability to overcome...it is necessary for sound mental health. These characterisitcs are like muscles. You have to work them for them to get stronger...the heavier weight you give yourself, the bigger and stronger the muscle will grow. So bring on the opposities, bring on the challenge- it gives me a chance to grow stronger ;)
