A Teeter-Totter of the Pair

A teeter-totter of the pair
                                                       
All saying
Goodness is not all good.
Good things should be acceptable.
Not being good is not due to badness.

Badness is not all bad.
Bad things should be atrocious.
Not being wicked is not goodness.

A duel of Love and Happiness,
Root for either one.
Which side is jumping higher?
Clap, clap, cheer, cheer.

I'd stand by the latter
'cause of no shadow to follow.
