Life is Wonderful

We live in a yin-yang world of binary dualisms. Up and down. Left and right. Forward back, and that's just the spatial directions.

Two forces always in opposition. Always at war, fighting for dominance in an eternal stalemate. They cannot exist in any other way. They cannot coexist in any other way.

One cannot exist without the Other, for to attempt such exclusion is to self-destruct. Down that path lies only madness and ultimately the kind of Death that not even Life can counter.

"You cannot create something from nothing." Ha! We stem from the great Void where nothing exists and ultimately to nothing return.

On the quantum level, the swirls and eddies of the subatomic layers of our universe are constantly creating spontaneous particle pairs that exist for moments, mere microseconds or less before they are inexorably drawn back together and annihilated.

And here we find something interesting. That old adage that opposites attract holds true in the physical world. The negatively charged electron is eternally drawn to the positive proton held in check only by the orbital path it takes. The sky above is just empty space without the land to lie upon in eternal embrace.

It's a power dynamic of the equal but opposite. Darkness and light. Good and evil. We like to characterize them, to make our side win, but the space in-between, the chaos that separates the Void from all the Things dictates that this cannot be. Entropy proves that we are all equal in the eyes of the Lord. We always lose before that with no beginning and no ending, the Ultimate that is its own Other.

We are like our particle pair counterparts taken from the nano-scale to the macro and then again once removed to the super-macro, made clumsy enough by our size that a Creator can intervene and hold us apart, setting us on those orbital paths so we circle each other. So that despite our attraction we're never quite able to touch and are therefore never able to deconstruct back into that random energy we stemmed from.

And it is in this that we can find wonder, that which we marvel at on the profound levels.
