No purpose in life without tensions

This may sound like an over statement, but upon further reflection you will see it is true.

There is no purpose in life without tensions.

Tensions represent two opposing perspectives and opportunities that pull individuals and organizations in directions that cause stress. The balancing of these tensions is what is necessary to dissipate them to the degree necessary for growth to occur. Elimination of the tensions limits, or even eliminates, the opportunity for innovation and growth. And without growth there is no purpose in life, for the teleology of all things is to follow the theory of autogenesis and to purpetuate yourself and expand your sphere.

Therefore, tensions are at the center of existences and growth, without them you have neither, for without them you have no purpose.
