How our minds are tuned to the principles of duality?steemCreated with Sketch.

Our generation is the product of extremism, we know the difference between light and dark, good and evil, joy and sorrow, day and night, positive and negative and so on....

This philosophy of the principles of duality has enslaved our minds into believing it with such an affirmation that we seek opposites. Everyday this ancient principle gets stronger as more and more people starts to believe in it. We neglect what's in between an example of which is our language we have synonyms and antonyms like male-female, horse-mare, like-dislike but what's there in between we tend to neglect those things and that becomes our attitude.

En example - There are three divisions in any society namely rich, middle and poor based on the economy or any other parameter of wealth. In a democracy, if the elected government has to win the next election then they will have to either craft a ponzi scheme for rich and the poor the middle class would be left to wonder that something is coming for them the next time. Again the attitude of neglect arising the principles of extremist duality unknowingly this time.

So long as we believe in the ideology of duality this will continue, another contemporary incident is all of us or most of us love to watch an mixed martial art  fight or play war games or watch porn or do plagiarism, do nothing, drive fast, do doping, heavy drinking, eat good, make money be famous, learn unlimited but somewhere down the line we also oppose the same thing that we appreciate how good is that and where does it come from???

Pleasure and pain is what we ask for, grey we love but white we want.

There is no duality only we have become so much accustomed to it that it has become difficult to realize the difference between our thoughts and our actions. 

This phenomenon will not change and have not changed so far its hardwired into our genes. Nor am i immune to it but a fact to ponder that how a principle fed in the early days of life dictate the terms of our life and effect everyone of us we are aware but unaware of the power of blackwhite oh! black and white.
