Good and Evil

Good and Evil and objective terms. Good and BAD and subjective ones. Do
not mistake one for another. Just cause something hurts you or is
distasteful to you, does not make it evil. Much like the food you
dislike is not EVIL food. It is BAD food (for you). Let me define Good
and Evil as abstractly (and hence inclusively) as I can.
Good - The Drive of Creation. Let us call it the Logos principle. That
which seeks to build, create, preserve, enrich. (Life)
Evil - The Drive of Destruction. Let us call it Thanatos principle. That
which seeks to destroy, break apart, annihilate, kill.
CHAOS encompasses both. It is the succession and oscillation of the two,
randomly, ad infinitum. A lot of people know part of the 2nd Law of
Thermodynamics...That things tend towards entropy. Few know the whole
thing. *In systematic tendency towards entropy, systems of great order
arise*. Creation of crystals and pearls is perfect example. Perfection
of crystalline structure arising from randomness of geological events is
the nature of Chaos. Chaos is a MEANS, not an end. One does not live
Chaos...one uses Chaos as a springboard... to what? to whateverer you
CHOOSE.
You choose the path of destruction? fine. Path of good? Fine. Chaos and
confusion is the mother or revelation.
A word from myself. Though you are creations of the God of the realm,
you are THINKING beings, who are granted free will. Reason, Think, and
act. Always be a pillar unto yourself. What is the Purpose if you are a
thoughtless brick in the wall? Even if the wall is a God? Do you think
Gods created you to serve them as mindless slaves? If so, why were you
given free will? To have to CHOOSE to be a slave? That would be sadism.
Whichever path you choose, Good, evil, philosopher, Jester...or even the
daily things you do...for <insert your God of choice here>'s sake,
choose it from yourself. Honestly. Ability to choose...is the most
precious thing you have. Please...do not forfeit it willingly.
