Many religions teach the principle of giving. No one would argue that if everyone gave to help others the world would be a better place.
That same principle is found throughout creation but in addition, its structure is that of opposites. This structure is responsible for all of creation. They maintain each others balance by voiding each others imbalance allowing creation and the life cycle to exist.
The bear may have sensed an imbalance in the cub and voided it by eating it or had an imbalance herself in which eating the cub may have voided.
Imbalances will always be balanced by being voided. The voiding act would be the effect and the cause would be the imbalance.
This is happening every day whether we are aware of it or not.
For the record I have 2 gay members of my family. One is immediate family. We have been close since childhood and I see them no differently than anyone else.
I honestly don't understand what you are saying. I'ma try to comment.
They maintain each others balance by voiding each others imbalance allowing creation and the life cycle to exist.
How do you void each other's imbalance?
I don't see anything imbalance. Whatever is a part of life, happens, its causes and its affects are a part of life itself. If it causes something unhealthy (say cells become cancerous) then that "imbalance" to a doctor would be reason to help find a cure. In general, cells turning to cancer cells isn't an affect of imbalance nor is it an imbalance.
It was explained to me by a paramedic when I had a seizure. He says seizures are normal (balanced). People may have one seizure in their life time if that. The neurons are not fix (my words) to a natural order (no more than ol' Pluto and the innormality of the changing seasons
seizures--we are loosing winter here).
Natural order, in my opinion, is created by us. It's a need to find structure and purpose. That's why we grieve when someone dies unexpectedly. We found the natural order that humans are "supposed" to live until about one hundred. Later in years, we are realizing that anything could happen. So, there is no natural order to life in and of itself because anything can and does happen. We just find patterns to better live.
Good example.
If you are familiar with the Deaf community, you are a bit ahead. The D-eaf community is not built on the inability to hear. It's build on like experiences, common language, what one can do, community, creativity, acting (for lack of a better word now), and culture.
Yet, people find a Deaf person imbalance because they cannot hear. Likewise people find it imbalance that homosexuals have the inability to be attracted to the opposite gender.
d-eaf people (lower D) refers to individuals who may not identify with the Deaf community and more important, a person's inability to hear. This can be likened to the inability to have sexual attraction to the opposite gender in a homosexual.
In regards to many homosexuals, we are discussing we are the former. We do not identify ourselves with who someone is by what's between their legs. (As a hearing person would see a deaf person's inability to hear). We are talking about our identifying with someone by
who we are attracted to and it so happens to be someone of the same-sex. Our culture, shared experience, etc relates to the former I talked about with Deaf individuals. It has nothing to do with action (inability to hear), it has to do with community (how one identifies themselves).
As such, when you call our actions (inability to hear) imbalance, you are basically saying that
we are imbalance. It is like saying that how we express love (or how a Deaf person communicates within his/her culture) is somehow off and not part of the natural order.
People in the past called Deaf/deaf people deaf and dumb. People still call them many names. Likewise with homosexuals. They call us f-, q- and so forth rather than addressing Deaf and homosexuals how
we want to be addressed and
who we are as part of the natural order.
Nothing is imbalanced. I'd say any religion that sees that is not a healthy religion. It's very descriminative to people who do not share those views and those views are not part of life itself. Like people had views that homosexuality was a mental disorder. The Catholic Church thinks we have a disease of some type (in their CCC), and the list goes on.
I know not everyone can step from their bias but if they can see what their biases are affecting people, hopefully they would change
how they view things even if they still disagree. Until then, we'll always be debating "if homosexuality is a sin" and define who we are by what we do (who a Deaf person as by their inability to hear)
I find that wrong. Unhealthy. Immoral. Not part of the natural order.
I used to study ASL to be an interpreter. I have three friends who are Deaf and used to interact with Deaf culture more intimately. That's how I know there is a difference. Since I am only hard of hearing, I don't share the same experiences as Deaf people.
However, with homosexuals, I do. It's sad and a very nasty way of looking at society whether one is respectful or not. The perspective is off not the person who has it.
