The Stories We Tell
Grief Won't Always Hurt So Often with Rabbi Steve Leder
The concept of duality teaches that life is created from a balance of opposite or competing forces. Where there is light, there is darkness. Where there is stillness, there is movement. And where there is life, there is also death. But these dual forces are not just opposite — they are also complementary. Acknowledging and facing our own mortality can make for a richer life. Experiencing a brush with death — or a brush with life — can have a profound impact on us. It changes us. And it’s important to reflect on the moments when death teaches us about life.
