Opposite Attracts?

If it were magnets, then duh.

But if it were relationships, nope. I don't believe that opposites attract for a real relation. Sure, tensions (in a good way) and dynamics occur when there are differences, but it doesn't have to be the complete opposite. In fact, I think it CAN'T be the complete opposite. Different, yes. Complete opposite, no. I see it more as differences complete each other and create harmony. It's about balance. Not about nullifying each other's traits. 


I mean it like this. You can not simplify human relation like it's a natural scientific phenomenon. I think, to create a bond, there should be something you can relate to. There should be something you agree on or similar with. Whether it's principles, moral values, hobbies, personality traits, religion, goals, whatever. Whatever the thing is, that one (or two) thing(s) you both agree on or similar with is one that makes the differences between you guys doesn't matter anymore. That thing is what makes you cope with the differences and make the differences between you guys become complimentary instead of burden to each other.

Differences are blessings. That's why we were created different and unique. That's why we were boys-and-girls, black-and-white (and yellow), theist-and-atheist, capitalist-and-socialist. We're different to complete each other.

But in the end, only similarities can unite us into a woven harmony.

So.




Is the existence of love inside every soul enough to unite us?







Guess not.

But hey! Now you know that if you happen to get in a fight with your lover, friends, parents, bosses, teammates, or whoever; just remember your similarities that get you bonded in the first place. If it's important enough, you'll survive.

Or will you?
