Years ago, a painter shared this concept with me: YOU CAN HAVE NO LIGHT WITHOUT DARKNESS AND NO DARKNESS WITHOUT LIGHT.
I did not fully comprehend what he was trying to tell me, but as I thought about it more and more, I realized that light highlight the dark and the dark highlights white... in this case I am talking about the white and black colors.
Such is the nature of LIFE...
Darkness can only prevail with Light and vice verse... there must be a comparison before the true nature of either situation can be understood.
Similarly, just as white has black as its opposite, so too does male have its opposite as female and good has as its oppose evil and right has as its opposite wrong or night and day, left and right, up and down, dead and alive.
These differences exist to give us contrast.
