Our life is chasing one thing but always empowering its opposite.
We can’t have one without the other.
This is the way of the universe.
We call it karma, action creates reaction.
We chase happiness and in doing so empower sadness.
The more happiness we chase, the more sadness is always on its back.
We only know happiness exists because we have sadness to compare it to.
Otherwise how would we know we were happy?
We can only be rich by making others poor.
We only know one by knowing the other.
We don’t really want happiness, it’s a drug.
We want peace.
How do we get peace?
Through balance.
Recognise the effect one has on the other.
Bring them together.
And that opens the portal to peace.
Not happy, not sad, but balanced.
One negates the other.
No more chasing one or the other.
Behind that door lies insight and wisdom.
And infinite peace.
