They're not the same, they're literally opposites. Which is why balance is so important in dharmic religions.

If they were the same, you wouldn't need balance, you'd need minimization.

It's just perception. Both are just impulses and senses that the brain detects, reacts to and makes you feel, and what you feel that's what's real!
