Without the dark, there can be no light....

ARE YOU ENJOYING THE CONTRAST????

abe has said this over and over...

yes...the Universe is based on contrast, choice, contrast, choice...contrast can be viewed as suffering, challenging, something to be worked against...or it can be viewed simply as a comparative term--how things differ...a helpful situation that leads to more refined focus.

in a world, in a reality, in a universe where WE KNOW all is well--and we get to come back over and over and over again--and there is NO DEATH, and we are always PERFECT, expanding eternal beings who SEEK variety in life experiences...

yes...contrast is necessary...

or you would be bored--and you would cease to desire--and when you cease to desire--cease to get enjoyment and evolution out of life...its transition time...

Without the contrast, there can be no quantifying joy....
