I have often thought about the duality of nature. Positive and negative aspects of the same thing, two sides to every story, the view from here, seeing life through rose colored glasses, optimistic or pessimistic, and no two eye witness describe the same scene. Much of my personal philosophy comes from these contemplations. Often our reality is of our own making and not the same reality shared by others. Over the years in my attempts to define truths that I believe are universal I came up with this statement "Proper focus brings, clarity of mind, strength of spirit, and an able body making all things possible." Often Truths can be difficult to see. In the star wars saga there is an especially revealing line from Qui-Gon "Your focus determines your reality" or in Biblical terms:"For as a man thinks within himself, so he is (Proverbs 23:7) or Reality, in Buddhist thought, would be described as the manifestation of karma, part of the process of impermanence, similar to the Hindu concept of Maya. Given this line of thought I intend to use this blog to post at least two different views or arguments about topics. Each post will have at least two view points sometimes more. We can all try to get to the "truth" of the matter.
