Am I alone in my view of the dark?

[Shin'Ar]

Fear is the opposite of love. The above posts by TheEternal articulate the concept of hatred being a distortion of love better than I can.

And in that frame of thinking can it not be said that love is a distortion of hatred?

or that the opposite of anything is a distortion of its opposite?

What is the point that is being made in saying this?

The issue being considered here is not one of how opposites relate to each other, nor can the issue be dismissed as semantic confusion.

The issue is also not a matter of dark being considered in the same regard as light in the thinking that both are simply aspects of creation of One Consciousness.

I have said before that just because all is found under one creation does not mean that all should be considered as a marvelous, awe inspiring, beautiful aspect of creation.

There is nothing marvelous about 7 billion human lives being instantly eradicated by the destruction following an asteroid strike.

One can say that it is a matter of persepctive. One can say that all which takes place has a purpose. One can even suggest that higher beings observing the sight from a point detached from any compassion for humanity might think it like some sort of grand fireworks display.

But, when all the attempts to make it seem like something other than pure destruction of life has been spoken, neither words nor thoughts can make such destruction anything rather than horrific destruction of life.

Fireworks are beautiful, unless someone in the process of that display becomes severely burned.

At that point it is no longer a matter of whether or not one chooses to define fireworks as a beautiful sight. The reality of the particular event, and what has happened to a living being at that time, supercedes any need to define or compare any of the components of the environment where the events take place.

Shall we really cast aside the sanctity of life and the precious existence of intelligent being just so we can somehow calculate and categorize the aspects of creation which such life and being are subjected to?

In my thinking, intelligent being, acknowledging the sacredness of life, does not cast aside that sanctity for the sake of interpretation and inclusion of all things.

Rather intelligent being, valuing the sanctity of life, relishing the interaction between fields of consciousness, and loving the process of being, considers all aspects of creation by evaluatiing their affects on that treasure they so revere.

This, and this alone is both the hallmark, and the difference between one who loves, and one who gives love no special value.

Evaluation and discernment of the sanctity of life is what separates those who place value on love and light, and those who would attempt to degrade love into the same category as hate.

if one places no value on things that manifest the aspects of creation which enhance life, and bring an aura of joy to it, then it would make sense that they would also not evaluate the negative aspect of experiences which belittle and degrade life.

Now this is my opinion, and is not meant to be offending or directed toward anyone in particluar.

Should anyone choose to be angry with me for having an opinion and considering my thoughts on a matter in depth, then they should also ask themselves why they then have the right to be angry.

this is a forum of discussion where we exchange thoughts with indepth consideration. if we are intelligent enought to realize that not all will agree in their thought processing, there should be no need to take offense unless it is obviously directed.
