Some magical thoughts on the nature of our world and the human experience and oh to heck with it, just whatever I feel like writing about :)

Life is a game of balance

Life is a game of balance, a kind of magic yin yang ball.
A contrasting landscape of good and bad, large and small,
Kind deeds and unkind actions.
Your actions today affect your tomorrow, whether through life or karma --perhaps directed by G-d, or perhaps encompassing the definition of G-d Himself...for to personify G-d is to be human. Which G-d is not.

Life is both a game of opposites and a field of magnetic attraction.
Too much good, and bad will ensue, too much bad, and something good is bound to happen. Unless the ball drops, malfunctions, and skips your turn. This can sometimes happen...for better or for worse. Such instances are not justifiable, they just are.
But see how the opposites come into play?
Attraction too plays a role in life, the idea of karma, “you get what you give”, “what goes around comes around”, and all that jazz.
Strangely enough, this does seem to be the case, more often than not.
But how can rules of opposites and attractions coexist? Perhaps the rule of opposites IS the alpha rule, for this very scenario it explains.
Thus life is formed of opposites
Coexisting
Interacting
In all spheres: life forms, life occurrences, universal happenings.
Opposites provide balance, choices, completion, for nothing is complete without its counterpart.
Man and woman, light and dark, sea and air, life and death: our world has meaning based on comparisons, complements, contrasts.
And balance is perhaps the core of our entire world and universe, though the extent to which we can control this balance (if we would even want to) is unclear.

But there, in that unclear zone, controlling the balance of the universe and its creatures, is G-d.
However you want to describe G-d, for His/Her/Hiser very nature defies human comprehension.
What does it mean to be human?
To not be divine, to not be animals without a conscience, to not be fish. We are what we are not, and we are what we are, so we are indeed contradictions in ourselves.
But G-d and the universe wouldn’t have it any other way.
