The context of energy in the universe can be categorized into energy that is alive, and energy that is not alive. Or energy that is dead, and energy that is not dead.

However all energy is relative to itself: the theory of relativity applies not only to your relatives and my relatives but to everybody's relatives.

If we trace all of our relatives back: you will find that we all come from the same relative root stock. Which makes everything very mushy, gradual, organic, and complex.

Living energy and dead energy is just one way of describing the difference between strong energy and weak energy.

Living energy is stronger than dead energy. When living energy dies: it does so gradually: so gradually: that it cannot be clearly separated into an absolute separation of Life and death.

The same is true for the birth of all living energy: it is so gradual a process: that nobody can clearly pinpont the moment when a fetus becomes a living human being... or when sperm and egg become alive... or how alive or how dead all the other relative energies involved actually are.

The only way you can clearly separate anything is by dynamic balance.

If you had a magical scale of aliveness and deadness: then anything that tipped the scale at more than 50% aliveness might be able to be catagorized as being nmore alive than dead.

If something tipped the scale at less than 50% aliveness: then it could be said to be more dead than alive.

But here is the question: what is alive? And what is dead? If you callibrate your scale incorrectly: then all of your measurements and value judgements about life and death will be completely off the mark and inaccurate.

How alive is a tree compared to an insect?

How alive is a human compared to a chipmunk?

How alive is liquid water compared to ice?

How alive is fire compared to ashes?

How alive are you compared to someone else?

How alive is a fat weak TV couch potato eating pizza, compared to a person who eats fresh vegetabls and runs 3 miles every morning without even breaking into a sweat?

It is all a matter of degree. It is all relative. it is all a matter of relative degrees of aliveness and deadness.

It is all a matter of relative strength and weakness.

BUT....

If you introduce the Principle and Dynamic of EGALITY... ah!

Then you CAN begin to measure thing more accurately.

For instance.... no two electrons are the same. Each one is unique. But they are all generally equal to each other. Becaue they exist in an fair playing field where neither can get any unfair advantage over the over: space.

SO! Let us say that two electrons are on a collision course with each other. If they do not change their direction; they will smash into each other.

Which one chickens out first? Which one veers away first? Which one is stronger than the other?

The answer is simple. The electron that has the stronger energy also has a larger, more powerful electomagnetic field around it. The weaker electron senses this field BEFORE it hits the stronger electronand veer away BEFORE the stronger electron does.

Why?

Because the weaker you are... the more vulnerable you are to energy that is stronger than you, the more sensitive you are to energy that is stronger than you. So you get out of the way in order not to be destroyed by the stronger energy.

If you see a bus heading towards you: you get out of the way because the bus is lager than you, and can kill you...

BUT... this is not a good analogy: because it is not based upon the principle of EGALITY. A large bus is not alive like a human. It is merely bigger, and has more dead mass to it. It is merely a majority of atoms.

A better example would be two people who weigh the same, have generally the same level of health and fitness and confidence... heading towards each other on a collision course walking towards each other. Which person will veer away from the other first?

but even that is not a good example:

Because one person may be more polite than the other, more humble than the other: and even though they are stronger, they will give way to the weaker person: merely so as not to hurt them... because they are more aware of others than the weaker person is.

This leads to the ethical question of 'Force Majeure' Brute force destroying weaker-smaller energy. Warriors killing babies. Tanks killing foot soldiers. Airplanes bombing and destroying tanks... All are example of unfairness. because there is no fair and equal playing field. Things that are not equal to each other: cannot be used as aan accurate measurement of which energy is weaker or stronger.

So... the more equality there is in human society: the less unfairness there is, the more strong energy can be noticed and valued. While weak energy can be noticed and de-valued.

A strong healthy person who does not live by hate and fear is stronger than a wek person who lives by hate and fear.

A person who does not have an ego: is stronger than a person who does have an ego.

A person who has a radiating sense of pure wonder is stronger than a person who does not have a radiating sense of pure wonder.

A strong healthy person who loves; is stronger than a weak person who hates.

A strong healthy person who loves and is sensitive to life, and has the attributes of kindness, generosity, sensitivity, joy, well-being, happiness, and good will towards others is stronger than a person who does not love anything, who is insensitive towards himself and others, is unkind towards others, is mean and spiteful towards others, is ungenerous, feels no jpoy or happiness, does not have a sense of well-being, is selfish, and has ill-will towards other people.

Basically: this is why I can laugh at the shriveled, spiteful, mean-spirited, envious, little souls on this forum... don't-you-know? And all of you can't laugh at me.

Weak people do not want to become healthy and happy. They want everyone to become just as weak and just as mean-spirited as they are.

Strong healthy people do not want to become weak and unhappy. They want everybody else to become just as happy and healthy as they are...

The problem is finding a fair-equal playingfield: so everything can equalize out, and then.... poof! Everybody is equal to each other, and there is no cause for envy or unhappiness.

BUT.... water does not only seek its own level... it seeks the HIGHEST level of equality possible. Liquid water evaporates and gains much more energy as a gas, than it ever had as a liquid.

If weak unhealthy people were put on an equal playing field with strong healthy people> the strong healthy people would RIP those weak unhealthy people off their asses and drag them outdoors and force them to become healthier. They would FORCE them to have fun. They would FORCE them to laugh and enjoy living.

Unfortunately: this cannot be done over a computer. It has to be done in person. Equally. Where all humans are equal to each other, and do not have any artificial advantages over others.

Am I getting through to any of you here yet?

Or are you all still refusing to get the picture?
