Pairs
What exactly is happiness? Is it possible to be without a partner, and be completely happy? I don’t think so.
From the beginning, every thing was created as half of a pair, each half relative only to its other half. Even the physical space that we inhabit exists in parallels–above and below, light and dark, night and day, wet and dry, physical and metaphysical–before even flora and fauna were created, themselves a pair. Of all of the creatures, only the human was created originally as a single being, not yet separated, and the human was singly given choice.
Paired with this condition and to this gift, is that, in order to be complete, the human is merciful, kind, just, but these qualities are relative only when applied to another, another viewed equally but with differences to remind the intender to act for other than self.
How much more fulfilled by, and grateful for, that other was the first human when halved and reunited, than if the halves had existed originally as already-paired parts.
A pair that is not together is not empowering intent within itself, and has no chance to exist as a force to affect the world. As that is why we were created in such a fashion, a single must, in fact, rely on another half in order to be completed.
