After I upload a quote to MoveMe Quotes, it’s important I tag it with the appropriate topics/themes.
For example, I uploaded a quote today that reads, “You start dying slowly if you do not travel, if you do not read, if you do not listen to the sounds of life, if you do not appreciate yourself. You start dying slowly when you kill your self-esteem; when you do not let others help you. You start dying slowly if you avoid to feel passion and their turbulent emotions; those which make your eyes glisten and your heart beat fast. You start dying slowly if you do not change your life when you are not satisfied with your job, or with your love, if you do not risk what is safe for the uncertain, if you do not go after a dream, if you do not allow yourself at least once in your lifetime, to run away from sensible advice…” ~ Pablow Neruda
Now, obviously this quote is about death—and how not to die slowly—so I tag it “Death Quotes.”
But… more importantly, this quote is about living—and how to truly live before you die—so I tag it “Living Quotes.”
And this duality is an important concept to understand when dealing with insight.
If you want to understand life—study death. If you want to understand death—study life. If you want to understand self-love—study self-hate. If you want to understand self-hate—study self-love. If you want to understand connection—study solitude. If you want to understand solitude—study connection. And so on.
Are you studying the duality of the problem(s) you’re facing in your life?
