Emotions come in pairs

That's the way our reality is wired on this level:

day & night

yes & no

confirming & denying

Complementary pairs of qualities that make the dance complete.

Yet, ever so often a pair of emotions gets split up

between two partners,

between a parent and child,

between two groups of people.

This is then either the beginning of a war of some kind

or the moment we catch ourselves.

Caught in the polarisation with our partner, we may draw the conclusion that we're incompatible.

Or we can start to understand that on the level of our material life

that is composed of our physical body, our emotions and our mind,

things show up in pairs.

The moment we remember that

day without night is merciless,

"yes" without "no" is meaningless,

confirming without denying is out of balance

we can expand our perception beyond this duality.

Life keeps on inviting us to embrace the whole pair

through bringing the ignored, neglected, or unaware aspects into our field

in the form of another human being,

so that we can bring love to both qualities inside of ourselves

and live in peace with the whole pair of emotions.
