The Power Of Opposites

Beyond any doubt, God's infinite intelligence cannot be comprehended....but we sure can get glimpses of his wisdom. A thought provoking design is the nature of opposites in life, in humans, in feelings, in colors, in just about everything you can find "Opposites". For good there is evil, for darkness there is light, for wellness their illness, for prosperity their is poverty. I wondered why ? why would the most merciful create diseases? why would the most compassionate create something so horrific as hell?

My limited human perception tells me that such opposites actually enable us to cherish the bounties . What!? ...yup imagine if everything we ever ate was sweet, we would not know what sweetness really is! its only when we taste bitterness do we know the "opposite". If we were always full we would never know what it feels like to be hungry. If we never felt sorrow, we would not value happiness. If not for Hell we would not strive to abstain from evil and desire Heaven, if not for sickness we would not be so cautious of our health. If not for the cruelty of the ppl of Taif, we would not have known the ultimate mercy of the prophet (SAW) , if not for evil people in society we would not have valued sincere ppl. The wisdom behind opposites may confuse the human mind, but its necessity can only be seen when one observes our very own human nature.
