Embracing Qualities

We exist within a world of dualities like pain versus pleasure, young versus old, pleasant versus unpleasant and we tend to place a higher value on one side over the other.  That bias feels shortsighted to me.  The fact is that both sides of any duality are equally valuable parts of the whole and each side contributes equally to the life process.  I find it best to embrace both sides, while usually enjoying one more than the other.
