Extremes

Opposition is the essence of extremes

Love, Hate

Without one the other loses meaning.

But Extremes defy boundaries

Pleasure, Pain

Where does one stop and the other begin?

Relativity loses its fragile meaning without extremes.

Life, Death.

Dieing young, Living Beyond your time.

Extremes lead each to the other without attracting each other
 
Creation, Destruction.

There is nothing without extremes.

Yet real extremes themselves do not exist.

Infinity, Nothing.

Our being lies somewhere in the between of extremes.

God, Reality.

Our soul is described by Extremes?

Peaceful, Tormented

Remembered, Forgotten.

Blessed, Damned.

Our spirit is defined by Extremes?

Boundless, One
