OPPOSITES DO EXIST

The evil lurks in every moment. A human soul is vacillating between good and evil and under great pangs to realize that it is made for good and goodness alone. There are many vacillating points:

            Hope – discouragement

            Faith – faithlessness

            Love – hate

            Obedience – disobedience

Why should we be under the mysterious clutch of realities that we hardly understand? A man who is wane on faith must ponder – there are two kinds of people. Both the kinds are driven and taken over by the driving dimension. The first one is driven by an overarching meaning (e.g. Mother Teresa – she promised not to refuse God for anything, not even refusing to give water to quench the thirst for souls). The second one is driven by the passion of one’s body (e.g. the habit of drinking, or any other irregular behaviors arising out of a lack of self-control).

Both types are characterized by “irrationality.” Both are in search of the “irrational.” The one who is led by an overarching meaning understand the seriousness of following that meaning. On the other hand, one who is driven by one’s body is moving towards disintegration, disunity and dissatisfaction. 

Why should opposites exist? Why should good people exist along with the people of evil inclinations? Why should God bring good out of evil?
