In a universe full of dualities, humans are brought upon the concepts of Yin and  Yang, Heaven and Hell, and Good and Evil. Simple yet complex concepts which explain the balance of the world. A push and pull of forces, a struggle from which harmony is created.

Divided by reason and emotion, we as human beings are victims to these dualities.

Dualities or rather Internal conflicts which drive human emotion forcing us to take control. Yet what does it mean to take control? What does one do when what one must do is not what one wants to do? Can one even answer this question?
