How often do we grow angry and seek to murder our woe before realizing that the demon of misery is also balanced by the wonderful thing we call joy?

To me, as you have stated here, life must and always will consist of the balance between yin and yang, creation and destruction, and love and hatred. Without one, we wouldn't know the other. Life is a paradox and the more we seem to chase after it (prying apart its secrets), the more it seems to elude us.
You are right, Z, we did not ask to be here or to be what we are, and the only thing we can do about it is go with it and make the most of ourselves. Your essay was very inspirational to me tonight. Thank you for sharing it.
