BALANCING GOOD AND EVIL

BENEATH THE SURFACE

How many plants and trees, human and animal lungs have absorbed this pollution before it clears? How much deep invisible damage has it caused.... There are words spoken of Yin and Yang, Good and Evil, Light and Darkness as a balancing act. How much good must be done to clear away the damages done by evil???? The impact of evil on a life reaches far, far deeper than what meets the eye. Let's take theft for example.....we steal possessions from another...... not only does he suffer the loss of his possessions BUT HE ALSO LOSES HIS TRUST AND RESPECT FOR PEOPLE...HE IS LEFT WITH INSECURITIES AND DOUBTS, ANGER AND RAGE AT THE VIOLATION OF HIS PRIVACY....and even revenge may come into play. An enormous impact on the emotional state of a man takes place...it is easy to replace the stolen goods or money, BUT IT VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO REGAIN THAT MANS TRUST....TO RESTORE HIS FAITH IN HUMANITY, IT MAY TAKE MANY YEARS, IF AT ALL, AND A LOT OF HARD WORK, TIME AND EFFORT......ARE YOU UP TO IT???? IF NOT DON'T STEAL....YOU ARE ONLY OPENING A VERY DEEP, VERY BLACK HOLE ON YOURSELF.... IT IS NOT WORTH IT. Same with love and relationships, if we can't go the full way, don't confess your love, don't promise your love, when broken it is devastating.....enormously destructive. Jobs.....when given a task and we mess it up....it has to be undone and redone... Sweet and bitter water don't flow from the same spring, the bitter defiles the sweet and must be cast away. So when we decide to play with THE BALANCING GAME......KNOW THAT THE EVIL WEIGHS FAR HEAVIER THAN THE GOOD....A LOT OF GOOD HAS TO BE DONE TO REMOVE THE STAINS OF EVIL. It's best not go down that road at all. Besides, it rarely stays with one person, the anger, disappointment and shock spills over onto the family, friends, colleagues.... rippling further and further. We need to learn to do what is just and right under all conditions, even adverse ones. If it does come our way, we should never allow it to spread any further....©
