We don't necessarily KNOW what it is, we just label it. Humans have this tendency to label everything, classification is a fixation of our kind.
I'm starting to perfer non-duality. Transcending opposites and duality, and seeing it all part of one ultimate reality that exists outside the perception of our individual mind, though still part of it. From what I have read most buddhist monks go along this path too, but many people talk about duality because it's much easier to explain and understand. And if you get that point across it does have great benefits to realize that what we see is our perception, and it's necessarily truth for all.
