The human experience and its contrasts

The human experience seems to be one clear on celebrating contrasts: Victories and defeats in wars, negotiations and contests. Even in relationships, when break-ups surface, words that celebrate defeat emerge: "He got dumped", we say.
Perhaps the human experience forces these extremes to be the essence of life -- Gain or loss; Life or death; Happiness and sorrow.
