Outside The Realm Of Opposites

Life as I know it, operates within interrelated opposites
Every good presupposes the bad
Every bit of knowledge is based on previous ignorance
Every strength triumphs only in the light of weakness
Every joy is celebrated through a memory of pain
Every remembering is only due to forgetting
What abundance can be there be unless there has been a concept of lack?
But is there something that is before or apart from the world of opposites?
Before the journey of life, before the story of seeking
Is there an undifferentiated space?
Is there a realm outside of life's opposites?
Can it be within life as I know it?
