Humanity must be doomed.

I'm about to go all Emo and Edgy so watch out. A thought occurred to me after watching The Legend of Korra: Beginnings Part 2, that no matter how much we may strive for the greater good or work towards it, we can never eliminate the rotting part of us that causes War and Strife. Without Darkness, there can be no Light, but they must always be present together or not at all. And so despite our efforts to better the world and ourselves, there's always going to be that corrupt part that continually throws all efforts down the drain, so what do we have to work for? A temporary fix to a permanent problem? Or do we just embrace that Darkness and make it what pushes us forward and hope it's more malleable than the Human Condition?

  • I'm glad you get here, man. I was getting kind of lonely. The concept of Yin and Yang is nothing new but the way you embrace it doesn't have to be an archaic method. I know there isn't simply black and simply white just like I know they are things that are inherently wrong and things that are inherently right. For every good I do, a bad cancels it out. For every homeless man I feed, another man is evicted. For every person's day I make better with a simple smile, there is somebody who is being verbally abused. Does that I mean I just stop and let go? Do I let "the dark" overrun everything I stand for because it is as everlasting as what I stand for? No, I keep pushing on. I acknowledge the bad and recognize it's power but I don't let it stop me from doing the good. Because I know for every person being verbally abused right now, there is another person whose day I can make with a smile. Every man being evicted will have someone to turn to for help, unless I just stop. Then the Dark wins and the Light fades away. For behind every bad deed is a good deed waiting to happen. If you never make that good deed happen, all you have is bad deeds. Don't embrace the Dark. Acknowledge it's presence but continue to walk strong.
