Pairs

The world has been created in pairs. We all know this. Male and female, white and black. I guess I just never realized how deep this pattern goes.

And it goes deep.

Right down to our smallest particles. Electrons and protons, the north pole and the south pole. Our world is created because of this nature of things. If each negative particle wasn’t attracted to each positive particle the world as we knew it would fall apart. We would fall apart.

Saying that all things are in pairs has a much deeper meaning than it sounds. It makes you see how beautiful the system of the universe is. How completely in harmony. Look at the wings of a butterfly, the pumping of blood from one side of our body to the other. Never loosing control, never disrupting order. Look at the planets. Perfect harmony. They all know their jobs and they are all doing them in an orderly fashion.

Our body itself is perfectly symmetrical. And okay, maybe we haven’t found out about the pair that completes the heart, but some people say that that’s why we need another person. The pair to our heart is the heart of another. They may even be a more scientific answer that has no been discovered yet. It’s not even just physical, it’s emotional too. Each characteristic of a creature has a pair. Nice. Mean. Content. Miserable. Truthful. Liar. Believer. Disbeliever.

We are surrounded by pairs.

The words pair doesn’t even have to mean that these things are similar. They could be opposites. Just look at night and day, good and evil, the world and the hereafter, heaven and hell. Perfectly complimentary yet wholly unique. In fact, I would say that one would be incomplete without the other. For why would you need light if there was no darkness? What would be the point of good if there was no evil to oppose against? Why would we dream of angels if there were no devils?

And the beautiful part is that each is as important as the other. It may not always seem that way, but it is. The sun may seem grander to us in all its golden splendor, but does that make it more important than the modest moon, whose subtle shine is only visible in areas where there are no clouds? No. Each has its own place and importance, and both are at peace. It is this harmony that strikes me as dazzling.

Beauty in diversity.

If we look at ourselves like the sun and moon we will understand why it is not so important for the female to outshine the male, because each of us have our own place, and we all have talents that others don’t have. When it comes down to our roots we are supposed to be with our opposites, not those who are exactly like us. But not just opposites, complimentary opposites. Female and male. Not female and animal.

We all have our places- the male cannot love his children as much as the female can; she gave birth not him. It’s just not possible. And the female cannot be as content having a successful career and a load of money as she can having a wonderful stable family; it’s just not in her nature. If we all accepted our roles in the world we would be much happier and quite a bit more content too.

And honestly, isn’t that what we all really want?
