Diversity and Homogeneity
Posted: 31 Mar 2016 19:12
Everything in reality has a counterpoint, balance is a crucial thing.
Sometimes we take for granted the wonder and beauty of balance, the middle ground.
The universe is a very chaotic place, and like our lives can be very unbalanced sometimes, yet beneath all of the superficial things it becomes balanced.
I believe the time we are in currently is becoming very unbalance and that it is only a matter of time before the pendulum begins to swing the other way.
Now it might be a long time before the effects of this swing are noticed and human lives are very short in regards to universal time (Yet also infinitely long).
However there are many things that can be seen as unbalanced and unstable in this period of time.
Change and chaos have been part of humanity since it's conception and original ideas have been improved or corrupted over time.
When an artist creates a piece of art he decides the original meaning of it, yet overtime and through observations of others and self re-evaluations it changes
and sometimes the original meaning might become hidden.
Sometimes groups or individuals give power to an idea or concept and are able to keep it mostly corrupted, yet what are the methods being used to preserve the idea.
Are these methods hypocritical, are they harsh, are they subtle, are they violent, are they peaceful, etc. ?
The methods like the idea's interpretation are infinity diverse and numerous yet from a surface view they might seem homogeneous.
Diversity and homogeneity two sides of the same scale, it is the balance in between them that is the most pure form it can take.
The point where all other expressions come from, the first cell if you will.
Does that cell mutate or does it copy itself, that is the next phase of it's evolution or survival.
There are many things that follow this rule and the consequence or rewards to it are just as various.
A homogeneous society might be strong and united at first, but it can fall quicker and faster to it's flaws compared to a diverse society.
A diverse society might be chaotic and unstable, having many rises and falls in success, yet it is this chaos that can create something stronger or something weaker.
Balanced societies to me seem to be the best option, yet finding and creating that balance is an almost impossible task.
There are so many things that fall prey to the rule of balance and imbalance that the list of things effected by it are infinite.
Will we be able to survive this next pendulum swing or will it cause more chaos and destruction.
I wish there was a way to prevent the inevitable chaos that awaits humanity in the future.
However I know from the ashes something greater will grow. When a forest burns down the ashes give sustenance to new life and growth.
The death of a star can lead to the creation of another.
I am optimistic that the future will always be brighter, as we give birth to new possibilities.
Being a simple human being can be scary as we are like small saplings in a constantly changing environment.
Yet as we grow and as we go through the bad weather we become stronger can give shelter to the next generation below us and eventually the space they need to grow.
How beautiful life is and we should give thanks to those who have come before us as they gave us the chance to carry on the flame of life.
I know what I say, do, write, create and share might just be a drop of rain in an ocean of wisdom, but every drop makes that ocean a little bit bigger.
As 0 becomes 1 and so on and so forth, so to does the majesty of everything and yet it is also still the humble 0.
I saw a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel, it went out but now I move forward in search of it until I reach the end.
