The reason as to why we are attracted to our opposites is because they are our salvation from the burden of being ourselves.

One major cost of self-deception is that we use painful life experiences to justify being non-ideal versions of ourselves.

Each person carries around in himself a terrible other world of hell and the unknown. It is an enormous pit reaching below the deepest crater of the earth, or it is the thinnest air far beyond the moon. But it is frightening and essentially “unlike” man as he knows himself familiarly, so we spend all our days living at the other antipodes of ourself.

How can we understand the world and the universe when we haven't even understood ourselves?

Yet the best determining factor of how comfortable we are with ourselves, is our ability to laugh at ourselves.

We are all 'right' if we are being truly ourselves.... that is the best we can be in each moment, until we learn more...
