I
decided to delve into something that has always troubled me - duality. In
childhood we are immediately told about what is good and what is bad. As
I grew up, I began to question this black and white existence. This mental
conflict disturbed me immensely. Who was I to judge? By judging others,
I began to judge myself... and the conflict spiralled and my attempts on
being a happy and balanced person became more futile. Why couldn't things
just be? Why did they have to be either good or bad? Whose judgement is
correct? What influences created that judgement in the first place? I began
to realise that this personal conflict was being reflected on a global scale.
It dawned on me that the world stage of politics are constantly using the
concept of duality for their own political, material and social gains by
pitting human issues against each other and creating an arena of good versus
bad. This extends to the mass media, to religions and in fact to all institutions
as well as every aspect of human existence. In fact human existence cannot
exist without duality. |
