I view duality and non duality as the same.
A roller coaster. We all get on. We all get to experience the views from the top and the views from the bottom. It is up to us to enjoy those views. The idea of the bottom view being different than the top view is what teaches us to see that there is no difference. Whether you enjoyed the ride or hated the ride you still get off on the same exit.
I also like OSHO's quote of it as a tree.
Quote:

Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That's its balance.
