The idea that emotions only co-exist with their opposites is a profound insight. I am sad because I'm losing my wife to Alzheimer's, but that sadness is accompanied by moments of pure joy every day (not to mention all the memories I can still recall). As I watch her slowly fade away I am reminded that without death we are all dead. The prospect of death should cause us to live more fully and be happier, one day at a time.
I’m sorry for your struggle Paul, I can’t imagine. Your insight “that without death we are all dead” is equally profound. Thanks for commenting and my heart goes out to you and your wife.

The struggle is real.
You’re hitting a little too close to home…
Haha sorry man. I’ve been there too, and it’s a struggle.
