Polarity is meaning

Good and bad are perfectly interdependent.

It's hardly a novel idea, but a useful one to internalize, especially during periods of "bad" in your life.

Good days can only exist in the wake of bad ones.

Love and joy can only fill your heart at the cost of pain and loss.

Without "bad" there would be no "good."

The oscillation between poles is what creates meaning.

This perspective helps me see and accept life and the people around me in a more present and contented way.

It's a reminder to fully love and embrace every ounce of the good things and people in your life while they're there, and to reflect with a sense of gratitude, not despair, as those things drift away.

Because it's the drifting that makes them good.
