Duality Quotes

The universe, as we perceive it, is not a single, pure entity, but a complex fabric of contrasting dualities. Darkness and light, good and evil, life and death, chaos and order. These are not merely separate concepts, but essential poles that coexist to create meaning and balance.

Within each of us, this duality also exists. Conflicts between logic and emotion, between the higher self and the lower self. This tension is what drives us to grow, to understand, and to seek harmony in a world that cannot be neatly separated into absolute black and white.

Each **quote** here is a mirror reflecting this eternal struggle: the conflict of good and evil, spirit and body, hope and despair, or simply, humanity and its contradictory self.
