Duality

a poem about Equilibrium and many more... :)

 

 

 

Has Night deserted Day

Or Day just can’t stand Night

*

Good is staying silent

Though Shines Brightly

Lighting the pathways that have come across its Being

Warm is burning its Pain 

@

Evil is out in the open

Engulfing all corners with Darkness

Blinding all the pathways that have come across it Being

 Cold is shrilling its Numbness

*

A step into Reality is a Journey

towards to the unending challenges

*

A flight into Fantasy is a Dreamland Moments

of life’s relaxation in short time bases

*

Duality has two faces

while Neutrality has none.

*

 Heaven’s tranquility Sparkles

Earth blooms in Balance

Hell cries in Vain

* 

Time,

 Dimension,

Situation& reaction

Partake its Solution

 

Manifestation,

Imagination & Illusion,

Manage its Creation

 

All hangs in a state of Equilibrium

This was a treasure trove of wisdom and powerful insights on life and its duality where only in the balance we can seek perfection but not in our neutrality . We have to fight the good fight , suffer the consequences of our actions , live to the fullest even in the face storms and rains , confront the realities of the unjust world for we have to set the path and the mission to achieve the inner peace and joy .
Keep penning my friend and finding that equilibrium ...:)

Nice work Pax, I love the formatting, it looks as good as it reads.

'Duality has two faces
while Neutrality has none.'

Much food for thought packed into your poetry.

[Michael X]

duality as a concept of creation, a finding the purpose where there is nothing but the fleeting aspect of time and eternity, wonderful work here.

[MOON]

Deep thought provoking write with such imagery , love the word choice. Lovely

[.]

Well done,Pax. This is very thought provoking, and comes together beautifully. Great job.

Very nicely worded piece my friend, you leave the reader thinking literally in every sentence.

I've read it 5 times, and every time I see new things.
Everything is ultimately related to the balance, and the balance in life, gods, nature, space, opposites, in everything.
You stood here very strongly to observe all from next to the sidelines, a gift.

Nice work, dearest friend

'Cold is shrilling its Numbness'

this one is just brilliant, i loved it. creative, alive. i loved the line i've highlighted, we've just had a little snow and your words summed that up perfectly. fantastic.

[CS]

It is all relative, isn't it Pax? We believe what we perceive. Well done, my friend :)

[Pax]

i think i would say yes... thank you dear one.:)

[FJ Davis]

You've certainly come to the right conclusion: Everything in an ever-changing universe finds itself constantly being forced into balance; a balance that too often just seems like chaos.
Big issues tackled, here, Pax!

[kublakhan27]

Every part could be a small poem on its own...now I very rarely make suggestions unless they're specifically asked for, but I think you could even number each part...it would read like an index of chapters, and each part still offers a lot of wiggle room for a reader to apply their sentiments to yours...but that's undoubtedly my OCD talking, and my compulsive need to organize things, even free verse :P But great work my friend, whatever the context :)

[Pax]

i don't used numbers.. but i used '*' or any symbols... i like the suggestion.. i will used it someday... what's OCD? Im not that organize... I'm quite a messy person..lol :D thanks my friend.

[kublakhan27]

Haha no worries, the symbols are just as effective...OCD is Obsessive- Compulsive Disorder, and that would be me lol :D

[Pax]

i think you need to try being messy sometime...for its a bit fun at times... :D

[kublakhan27]

Oh I know...maybe when I get old and senile the messiness will come :D

[Michael G.]

Lots to ponder with this rather deep write. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it all. (Example: I understand that duality would have two faces. But I thought neutrality would have many or all. But that is only my mind.)
Great thoughts!

[Pax]

my concept of neutrality comes from a person who doesn't partake in any war/conflict in between... so i have to say he doesn't have a face for he takes no one's sides... for me neutrality is a balance understanding of both side...
thank you mr. G... i hope i answer your question... :)

[Frieda P]

Wouldn't that then give neutrality many faces?

[Pax]

hmm... well, well, well.... I've been pondering this question of mr. G a lot lately... i even question my logic about it from time to time now... all i came up is that: it doesn't mean that he didn't choose side that concludes him that he has many face or the face of all...when i search the google for images i found out that neutrality has alot of roads, choices or its a policy of rules... for me neutrality is simply a equality or an infinite balance with no definite answer which give him no face at all... thanks ms F... your question had me really think... :)

[Frieda P]

I think perhaps the longer we ponder a subject the more complicated it gets. To me neutrality means not taking sides but being able to see all all points of view...more food for thought. ;-)

[Pax]

true to that.... :D i though overthinking is your middle name ...hehe..
seems like complicated is my forte..lol..
its good to have a break on those complication... a chocolate will do... kitkat perhaps.. :D

[Frieda P]

haha I was thinking Moose Tracks would be more fun. :-)

[Pax]

:D now that name made my mouth water...i need some...now i need a rehab...lol...

[Frieda P]

haha don't we all? The duality of deciding which chocolate to eat!

[Pax]

hahaha...is there any balance which chocolate to choose...or lets choose neutrality and eat it all...

[Frieda P]

ha now you're talking!!

[Pax]

lol... a little fun mixing it all to ease the complication.. is quite relaxing...
thanks for the added fun my friend....

[Frieda P]

sounds like a good plan, we'll dip the kit kats in the Moose Tracks ice cream and have a happy ending. :D

[Pax]

sounds delicious!!!!
count me in.... yum!

[Frieda P]

ahhh the duplicity of duality, grand ;D

[Pax]

aha! that's more food... I'm fully full of its complexity.. i still have a room though in the right side of my brain.... :D now your ahead of me... ;)

[Frieda P]

we should probably call it quits cause my arse is getting fatter and you're gonna break out in zits soon, a pretty poem that won't make! :-P

[Pax]

ok lets step to reality now and call it a day/nighT :) ىهلاف خق يشغ

[Pax]

sorry about that... the auto arabic was on... you wouldn't understand that..hehe..

[Frieda P]

no but it looks pretty!

[Michael G.]

(Looking at the mess of chocolate wrappers on the floor and the empty ice cream containers all over the place. Then sitting down in the middle of it all and pondering what I have seen.)

No faces, to all faces. One path or road. Many paths, many roads... one or more thoughts. One Chocolate, or all chocolate? Duel duality?

Look at this mess! And where is the balance in this conversation?

Switzerland was neutral in WWII. They created their own balance. And they were many things to many people. They also had "Swiss Chocolate."

Perhaps chocolate is the secret behind life, death, and balance. (Leaving again to ponder and perhaps have some Swiss Cocoa with a Chocolate brownie. Wait... I'm diabetic, I can't do that, realizing I cannot find the balance for myself.)

[Frieda P]

Bhahaha, you're too much Michael, that really made me laugh out loud, I don't think we were looking for balance as much as a sugar fix ;-)

[Michael G.]

(Smiling...) I do enjoy making someone's day right from the start of mine. (Gonna be a good day... I hope.)

[Frieda P]

Not looking so hot, icy snow mixture here, pass the hot chocolate will ya?

[Michael G.]

I'll send some. Should be mid seventies again today. Beach day!

[Frieda P]

arrrggghhhh

[Pax]

hahahaha.....lol... I missed all the fun here.... oh well passed me the hot choco as well... you also have great humor mr. G... awesome!!

[Frieda P]

pfft he deserves to get a minor sunburn in the very least! ;-P

[Michael G.]

I rarely burn, but thanks for the kind thought. lol. Have some chocolate, Pax.

[Frieda P]

Hope you're enjoying your 'sun' while I shovel my fat ars off here! ;-)

[Pax]

oh i would love some... ;) that fat a*s seems really amazing... keep shoveling ;) i don't get burn easily but i get really dark that easily...like chocolate brown...hmm

[Frieda P]

ha I want to know what you deleted first! ;-)
chocolate brown yum! ;-P

[Pax]

some typo.. hehe... i hate typo...though i keep on doing it alot.. hehe
its just the same message...

[Michael G.]

Ya'll fight this one out. Sorry you are having to exercise the gluts. Pax, I'm sure I don't get as brown as you. But you two are on your own when you start talking deletes. Bye! Come read "Touching Dreams," if you get a chance.

[Pax]

i came to reread this... for i just remembered the question Ms. F and mr. G asked to me...
read morei came to reread this... for i just remembered the question Ms. F and mr. G asked to me...

"Wouldn't that then give neutrality many faces?" and “I understand that duality would have two faces. But I thought neutrality would have many or all.”

And my answer was = neutrality is simply an equality or an infinite balance with no definite answer which give him no face at all....

Though I felt the doubt on that… and I find the answer this pondering answer I just came up with…. While thinking myself selfworth…

in connection to my answers… yes neutrality has many faces and with that… it does mean neutrality has no face of himself …for he is the face of many… making him the face of each and every one… leaving him faceless… and by wearing everyone face he decide where to put himself,
finding the tranquility of equilibrium:
--the tranquil of good and bad
--the tranquil of heaven and hell
--the tranquil of light and dark
with all that they co-exist in one world… that without the other the world seems to be out of balance…

[Michael G.]

I will agree with all of what you just stated... almost.
I think here you have shown a good balance. One that neutrality can easily exist.
The only part I have trouble with is "...by wearing everyone face he decide where to put himself,"
I would submit to you that if neutrality wears all faces and is faceless himself, he would "not" be anywhere and could not choose to be anywhere. For if he did, he would no longer be neutral. Therefore, he must remain equally everywhere.
The sky appears blue everywhere on earth no matter if at the equator or at the poles. No matter if it's a clear day or a snowstorm. The sky above, being neutral everywhere, is the same for all. Though we "all" see it in a different light. How tragic would it be for the sky to not be neutral, and somewhere there would exist a place without it, because it wasn't neutral in that spot?
Good/bad,heaven/hell,light/dark, are the ying and yang of life.
Great wake up thoughts to ponder here, Pax. Thank you.

[Frieda P]

Oh my, the two of you are doing my head in...I need much more coffee before I can digest this properly....

[Michael G.]

Add chocolate to it if you must, but I would sincerely really like to hear your thoughts.

[Frieda P]

if all of life is energy and matter, we will always have positive and negative, as you've stated Michael, the yin and yang of life...one creates and the other reciprocates or activates the other, there is no sun without the moon, no night without the day...as people go, there is this same duality....beauty and the beast, there needs to be a passive and and a positive , this is the duality of all things, which has many faces....strength and weaknesses, black and white...it's a fundamental principle throughout our lives..not something we always 'decide', if that makes any sense, we do have this balance, or there is no significance in the other...i'm not sure what face that wears....duality is twofold and interchangeable....the viewpoint is a conflict within itself...neutrality is imparital and takes no sides, which i'm not sure is even possible...and I don't see the balance in that stance....I think I'm confusing myself now ;-)

[Pax]

About mr. G’s queries:
“faceless himself” if his a being… but if he is an entity… he blends…so that means he has no shape for he is everywhere making him an entity of infinite possibilities going anywhere… with no form or shape…but take form only to blend and understand where he is… and then heading to the next… so that means he is still everywhere…

About ms. F’s queries:
Neutrality is imparital (you mean impartial) and takes no sides, which i'm not sure is even possible...and I don't see the balance in that stance....I think I'm confusing myself now ;-)
~ haha… I laugh at the confusion part… HERE IS WHAT I THINK: if you think about this way… good and evil , yin and yang… do you think that there is only duality in this part… no, for I think there is one that is not seen in that duality… in good and evil, yin and yang… you’ll see a circle right, for me there is a hidden force or entity within them… and I think that is neutrality… or the heart of all things…
between good and evil… where will you put yourself? Well me, I’ll put myself in the center, the core, the heart of it all… for there lies neutrality… within it or within us all…

hope you understand me… that’s what I image it to be… its like a fantasy imagination I had right now.. answering the questions you two had brought… thank you…

[Michael G.]

Interesting thought about duality. And I think only in a perfect world or environment will we find a perfect place where true neutrality can exist.

[Frieda P]

It's my understanding then 'neutrality' means NOT picking a side, that means you choose, neither light or dark, good or evil...where does that leave you? And is there still chocolate in this place is all I want to know? ;-P

[Pax]

very short and deep thought mr. G... I'll ask you hope you don't mind...
what is your "true neutrality" really meant?
is it pure neutrality already exist in the imperfect world...
is there such perfect world that exist out there in this such an imperfect universe...
if there is perfect good or perfect evil exist... where does neutrality stands in there? yeah i think his there but does that only mean his only one side, one face, one entity...?

[Michael G.]

It leaves you on that thin but very real line between ying and yang.
And for you, today Frieda, I will make a Chocolate Mint Pie. (Imagine the taste of Girl Scout Mint Cookie) And it's Sugar Free.

[Frieda P]

Oh I love those girl scout cookies, no one ever sells them around here anymore...not so sure about the sugar 'free' though, but i'm sure you can pull it off with you chef expertise....

[Pax]

haha.... I like the mixture knowledge and pleasure here..
and where is mine? my own share of chocolate...;)

[Frieda P]

There is no knowledge without feeding the beast first....... ;-P

[Michael G.]

As a diabetic, I have learned to make things like this without sugar. Thank goodness, some companies do make sugar free brands. ie. Jello sugar free pudding, and Murray Cookies makes a sugar free Vanilla Wafer, when crushed makes a great crust. You just can't eat all you want.

[Pax]

oh.. they really had those... wow... what does that taste like... sweet but no sugar...hmmm

[Michael G.]

Pax, I wouldn't leave you out of your share of chocolate! Certainly, you are invited to share.
To reply to the question, is there a perfect world? I would say, according to what we've been saying, that yes, there must be one... for we already know there is an "imperfect" world. So the opposite, it's balance, should exist, also. But that is too deep for my comprehension. Perhaps if I were upon the ninth level, if my thinking is correct, and understood perfection.

[Michael G.]

Some artificial sweeteners and some other natural sweeteners can taste quite good, Pax. The Agave is very sweet but difficult to cook with.

[Frieda P]

Is that the duality of sugar, or balance? ;-P

[Michael G.]

LOL! As far as I'm concerned, yes!
I have to and do, take this very seriously. Being diabetic is hereditary for me. I didn't get it from being just careless with what I eat and do. And I try very hard to not cheat too much on my diet. (The high carb rice last night I ate in a small quantity.) But it does affect the quality of life. Some will say, take the meds and enjoy whatever. I can't look at it that way.
But finding the balance of low to no carb diet and eating normally is a difficult thing to do. And believe me, I cannot live on a low carb diet always. I like my spaghetti! lol!

[Frieda P]

I know, seriously one of the minions is diabetic, no laughing matter...have you ever tried artichoke pasta, it's quite good...

[Pax]

LoL... your a smart lady indeed... with wits and humor...

wow, i get your point mr. G.... if there is imperfect ..there is also perfect right... a balance of all things...

now being diabetic is hard... finding balance in food always is hard to cope... always moderation on what to eat... when it comes to food i like indulgence sometimes...hehe..

[Frieda P]

ha overindulgence is in my DNA, I'm Italiano!
We eat, drink, laugh and love too hard.... ;-)

[Pax]

hahaha.... that's great...but when it comes to love please do take he moderation kit... if you love hard you'll also fall hard...but then agian if we don't do it we will never learn right...
next time we'll go to an eat all you can buffet... let see our indulgence check there...lol

[Michael G.]

Frieda, no I haven't. Sounds like something to try though. Whole wheat pasta is okay, to a certain point. If I go out to eat Italian, I always request my sauce on the side. I have to be cautious of most Marinara sauce, because of the sugar content added and from the tomato. I may try artichoke pasta though.
Pax, finding balance is difficult in most things we do. Food is something I do enjoy... a lot. And being a Southern boy at heart, I like it my meat fried or grilled, and my veggies cooked soft. But, I've had to learn to adapt. To find my balance, if you will indulge me that thought.

Wow! I didn't mean for this topic to get turned to food.

[Frieda P]

Well it speaks to balance Michael! ha....

[Michael G.]

Ha! Too true!

To find a balance,
you must find two things equal...
complementing each.

[Pax]

ha! never intended to sway our talk to food... but still there is balance everywhere... food is no exception....
