There is darkness. There is light. The YinYang symbol has equal parts of each, with it's opposite as a small dot in the center of each.
So my thoughts continue to go toward knowing more about the negative, the darkness, the force of evil. I don't want to think much about it, nor talk about it really. Somehow that's giving it more power in my life.
I get a kick out of entertainment which focuses on dire straights, many characters or situations where fabricated negative forces almost win the day...but you know each horror film will have some kind of good ending. I don't watch them, but I'm pretty sure those who do would concur.
I like murder mysteries, and adventurous books and films and even TV. The good always wins against the evil. May the Force be With You...a few days ago from the Star Wars films, is not talking about the Dark Side.
Shakespeare's plays are tragedies or comedies.
I seriously want to know.
Where does the negative force come from? Is it equal to the positive force as Yin Yang would have me believe?
Darkness as opposed to light in my life is understandable.
But evil is not.
The devil, Satan, I don't believe in. I think the Christian church kind of invented them.
But error was what I learned about in Christian Science as a child.
And that phrase kind of puts in mind a psychology of "it's all mental". Yet people don't wish upon themselves all the bad that happens to them without their intention. That way of thinking ends up blaming the victim for accidents and being thrown into horrible situations.
Now I know many folks believe its their destiny. But I don't believe in an outside force running my life. I've too much belief that I am in charge of my life by my own choices.
See my conundrum? Bad things happen to good people. Accidents happen. Our lives now are impacted by huge climate events.
Is there a force of evil, and if so, where does it come from?
