coexist= together? at the same time?

Hi
I would appreciate it if you could tell me which one is better translation of this sentence? "I believe that happiness and unhappiness coexist". as a native speaker what do you understand from this sentence?

1- I believe that happiness and unhappiness exist together
2- I believe that happiness and unhappiness exist at the same time

in the target language there are well-established words for "together" and "at the same time", so they are not interchangeable. I need to choose the best.
many thanks

I would prefer #2. In #1 I might understand that the terms suggest a relationship with each other.
