THE TWO OPOSITES
When we have only two choices there is only black and white.
There are only two distinct concepts when describing the world by a dual choice decision.
The Good and the Evil
The world is ruled by two opposite forces which fight for predominance
eternally. The one force represents order of the cosmos the
other chaos and destruction.
The two forces can not stand in one place and will annihilate
like matter and antimatter.
At the end of time the one will overthrow the other and will
rule in triumph as a supreme force.
This dual principle has become fundamental in
Zoroastrianism and the
Abrahamic Religions.
The Two Sides of the Coin
The world is driven by two different powers. Each has a different quality.
But the one can not exist whiteout the other.
Furthermore, each contains the other.
Thus, separation of the two is not possible.
This representation of nature is very common in the
Tribal Religions
and in the Dharmaic Religions
of Asia. Especially, the Chinese principle of
Ying and Yang in
Chinese Daoism
is the most well known philosophical concept of this kind.
Some Shades of Gray
There are many philosophies which mix the above concepts. E.g. the Good can
only exist as an opposite to the Evil. Destruction is necessary for Order.
One very interesting concept is derived from modern chaos theory.
The fundamental forces are Order and Chaos. But a cyclic morphing from the one
into the other (Order emerges from Chaos; Order disintegrates into Chaos once again)
is taken from the concept of Ying and Yang.
