Balance

Here's a snippet from something I was writing earlier tonight that struck me as speechlessly profound after it came out:

If there is any one universal truth of the universe that I've learned in the many incarnations of my soul, it is that of balance.  What is taken will be returned in kind, what is given will be rewarded.  There must be dark to define the light, just as there must be light to contrast the darkness.  Just as Helios and Luna make their eternal journeys through the skies, there must be a balance.  How can one know good without the presence of evil?  The world would be barren and lifeless if there were not woman and man to complement each other in life.  And how can one truly live without death?
