If there is a sense of balance, then wouldn't there HAVE top be people who's moral principles were evil or corrupt? I mean in this vein of thinking then wouldn't there be people who were meant to be fundamentally good, and others to be fundamentally evil? What do you think about that? | If your worldview is based on everything being balanced, then, no, there would not have to be anyone completely corrupt or completely pure- everyone could be somewhere in between, and Whoever was in charge of keeping everything balanced could just make sure the total Bad equaled the total Good. And there would not necessarily have to be Anyone equalizing Good & Bad- Nature might just shake itself out that way, and no one would be meant to be one way or the other. Perhaps electrically, as with the atoms you mentioned, the physical world might be balanced; I don't think the moral field would have to be the same way though- or why would we desire beneficial motives and actions over harmful ones instead of expecting some of both and just dealing with it? |
