Polarity

In this post: the good bad conundrum

I discuss one aspect of a polarized perceptive,
in terms of good and bad.  In reality this is
the tip of a fairly big iceberg in our brains.

So beginning with the compass, the issue of
polarity has become ingrained in human thought,
meaning that it has become very difficult for us
to comprehend reality if it is not framed in terms
of opposing forces in conflict.  So as mentioned
previously in this blog, the issue of sport is
an example.  It is very difficult for us to imagine
a sporting event which does not include a winner
and a loser.  And so we frame many aspects of
life based on the notion of winning and losing.

Likewise we perceive and comprehend nature
especially as it might relate to mechanical issues
in terms of polarities, and so many times we use the
notion of polarity or opposition of forces, or
placing forces in opposition to obtain mechanical
advantage.  And this notion expands to a paradigm
of polarity which then rises to the level of atomic
forces, in opposition.

And so we see it in our political life in U.S., as the
"adult/mature" perspective on how to deal with
society and social concerns, by placing forces in
opposition to discover a " winner " and as a result
a "loser"....  And this notion is again supported by
a religious point of view, that rigidly adheres to
powerful notions of good and evil and perhaps
rich and poor as well, which leads to ideas related
to organization and how things need structuring.

I am here to say we have to begin to back off from the
cliff, that this notion of polarity has created.  Seriously
back off.   And to support the alternative notion
which involves connections  in nature as well
as the individual and so we should assume in
social interactions as well. Why do I suggest this?
It is mostly because of the complexity we face in the
world today, as well as the challenges these complexities
create, and the necessity for us to develop better
solutions and concepts to find successful answers.

I am guessing that this notion needs to be expanded
upon further, and so will continue with that notion
of connection as  it applies to natural systems as well
as issues of social import, in later posts.

And so in conclusion, I just have to point out the
obvious,  preception is not a word nor is connectedness,
I guess.  More on, this later.
