Life is a series of pulls back and forth... A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. Most of us live somewhere in the middle. A wrestling match... Which side win? Love wins. Love always wins

Mitch Albom
About This Quote

Many of us experience the tugging of opposite forces in our lives. We want to do good but feel guilty about it. We want to help but feel resentful. We want to be happy but are too scared to try.

The pull between good and evil is an important theme in all mythologies. There is a need for balance between the light and the dark. For example, the Greek gods were often depicted with one hand on each hip, symbolizing that they had walked the path of light and now could never go back.

One must choose one’s path with care, because once chosen it cannot be abandoned or changed.
