Conscious of the unconscious

Someone I hold dear once asked me, "why do you fantasize about death?".

Dear you,
I don't fantasize about death. I am just intrigued by it. Because death means being liberated into the universe again. We're all organs of the universe. Involuntarily following its orders. But once we die, we lose control over our tiny lives and gain freedom that goes beyond this world.
I am simply enjoying it by marveling at the beauty of death. Not many do it. They think of death to be ominous and evil. But it's the root of life. From death springs life. I am just intrigued by interconnections seen in the universe. Because everything in the world follows a simple rule: achieving equilibrium; flowing to a lower energy state. For this to happen, two contrasting entities must be present. The high and low must exist. To truly understand universe, we must understand both the ends and their connection. That's why I look at both sides of the coin.
Right now, I'm alive.
Everyday I live, I am experiencing life with my conscious and sub-conscious mind. But what about death? How will I ever know about the other half of life while being me? For that, I have to think about it. I don't want to only think of the good but also the bad. That's when someone can REALLY think. It's not one sided anymore. I'll be a whole.

Shower talk: Meme master and Yin Yang

I know what reaching enlightenment feels like.

Because I have mastered the "name a more iconic duo, I'll wait" meme.

I put myself at the risk of sounding silly when I made those statements but it's true. Weird too, actually. It's strange how a meme asked an important question about how the world works.

Because you get to read this, I shall let you in on my secrets so you too can be a master of my favorite meme.

Yin and Yang.

Yin Yang talks about how two completely opposite things complement each other the most. The south pole of the magnet doesn't attract the north pole for no reason. Protons don't attract electrons for no reason. Opposites aren't the most iconic duo for no reason. It's because that's how the world works. You see, the first law of thermodynamics more or less talks about this phenomenon.

"Energy is neither created not destroyed".

Due to the fact that the above statement is true, the world has been able to maintain it's equilibrium. When stark contrasts meet they create consistency.

In and out.

What goes up comes down because of gravity. Gravity is one of the four fundamental forces of nature and up and down are one of the iconic duos in the world. This relation itself shows how this idea of Yin Yang is deeply rooted into the universe.

North and South.

It's the way of the world. No pain no gain. What goes around, comes around. All of them talk about the same principle. To even get something is to give something first. The world is attached with strings. When you pull something, it pulls something else with it. When you put something at stake, you'll get what you've been working for. Nothing in the world is unbalanced. Something always exists to fill the gap. The electromagnetic waves go up and down. The water flows with crests and troughs. There's just no one straight way to anything. It's a series of highs and lows. It's a series of sacrifices and achievements. It's a series of pitfalls and stepping stones. It's a series that flows; one that is connected.

Black and white.

No one can experience only the good or only the bad. Nothing gets done only with hardwork or only with luck. Even if it does, its consequences balance out the pure luck or pure hardwork. If you win a lottery, you might face hardship further trying to save the money or you might spend it all relentlessly that you'll fill yourself with guilt later. If you have struggled extensively for the outcome, you might suffer from stress and illness.

Success and Failure.

Remember that no matter what happens in this world, it'll always get balanced out. Sometimes this fact will bring happiness. All the time and effort you spent on something shall be balanced out by your success. Sometimes this fact will bring sadness. All time time you've lived shall be balanced out by your death.

Because I realized this, I have mastered the meme and reached enlightenment.
