Everthing must have an opposite, because all existence is dependent on opposition. In minds like ours that are shaped by language and draw lines between things in order to distinguish and understand them, we would never comprehend right without wrong, or good without bad—and we would never see that the opposite of misery is holiness. Without opposites, everything would be just one big ball of being, and our brains wouldn't be able to sort through it. There would be no real life in this reality, no real consciousness, and no real joy. Things would be created, but to no end. They would exist, but would not truly be. And we would never have access to God's power and justice and mercy, we could never see who He is and what we are, we could never become like Him.
