Re: Good/Evil/Balance/Creation
In Response To: Good/Evil/Balance/Creation ()

Greetings
"Good" and "bad" are relative terms. The meaning of them depends much on ones life experiences.

For example, it would be considered "bad" if someone who was starving went into another's yard and ate a fruit or vegetable from vine or tree.

If one was an indigenous person such as the Native Americans who believe than no one owns the land. We are all a part of the land. It would not be considered "bad".

When InI attach the terms "righteousness" as opposed to "evil", then InI bring in religious Icepts, which are further skewed by culture and history.

When one looks at nature, where thoughts are not the deciding factor in survival, many animals do things that are not considered "good" from a human's perspective.

Lions kill impalas for survival. Is the lion bad for killing the impala? Is the impala a victim of evil? No, InI know that there must be death to bring forth life. So neither is good or bad. It just is.

Just as in humanity. No one is all 'good' and no one is all 'bad' because as I said earlier, good and bad are relative.

A king is a good man to his subjects but a bad man to his rivals.

Moderation is the key. Staying at any extreme can be harmful. The unity of the two is key..the balance of the UNIverse.

Now, why would the Icept that InI have of "God" be outside of the unity of existence?

In my opinion, it is because of religious misoverstanding...corruption...and confusion that InI see good/creation/life as desires and bad/destruction/death as undesired.

The wisemind would think onefold and not two fold and realeyes that one could not exist without the other, therefore no one thing could be desired over the next.

Give thanks for the question.
Keep the reasonings flowing.

Peace
