Why do people ask questions with either/or answers, as if there were only two possible answers? This in itself is a fallacious argument.
So there is a list and some tables in the great unimpeachable source, wikipedia. Why are we accepting this as if it hs any merit? Says who?
There is more to life than black or white. There is grey. There is yellow sunshine and joyous blue. There is life giving rain and night time when we sleep, or party, or get drunk and have sex with strangers, or gaze in wonder at the firmament. Why is it important to categorize everything and say if it isn’t this, then it has to be that. It just isn’t so, and life is not so easily disposed of and dismissed in some theory about negative and positive.
“Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven?
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Some of you say, “Joy is greater thar sorrow,” and others say, “Nay, sorrow is the greater.”
But I say unto you, they are inseparable.
Together they come, and when one sits, alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.” (Gibran, K)
