rarely come here but I thought I would post a thought that has been on my mind for awhile and see what you think. I encourage the rashest thoughts and critiques on it as possible. In fact, disproving it would make me happy.

The following is metaphoric for pretty much any dualistic pair. Black and white, good and bad, left-brained (rational) and right-brained (artistic and creative), etc.

The series goes as follows:
1) Without angels, devils have no motivation.
2) Without devils, angels have no motivation.
3) Motivation is the driving force for change and for life.
4) Given time, a thing will change.
5) There will never exist only angels.
6) There will never exist only devils.

So in other words, according to the idea, the extremities of dualism aren't possible. Also, we all have a little good and bad in all of us, and not everyone can be left-brained (fully rational). It's just a matter of to what degree you are of both respectively. Thats why photons are ejected from black holes (not fully black).

If this sounds like mental illness, just say so. The more honesty I get on this, the more it would potentially help me combat my own mental illness.

Thanks for your input!

This isn't mental illness. This sounds more like cliche pondering.

I don't care how cliche it is. What matters to me is how true it is.

What is true is relativity.
I don't ascribe to the idea that "evil needs good/good nerds evil", though.
That's more like copium for harshness of life

Nothing lasts forever. That's why conservatism is laughable.
What I don't like is the justification for evil to force people to spring into action for good. That's what sheltered intellectuals say to cope with an indifferent universe.

God says in the Bible that at some point all knees will bow, I'm paraphrasing here but he says that everyone will be good basically, eventually. Revelations implies that evil things will be destroyed entirely for a new planet and sky--universe, basically

I do think eventually everything will be good, at least temporarily. He set this dichotomy up between evil and good for His own entertainment, it stands that He may do so again

Why does God want to be worshipped?
What if I don't want to live forever?
Am I doomed for hell for saying God will never understand us (the dualistic right-brained free-thinking, the opposite of the rational being God is for creating the universe) and that everyone's individual life is an experiment?

>worship
He never really says He does, Biblically. It's actually something people do to try and get his attention basically. At one point when He was destroying Israel in the Old Testament He even said "I tire of burnt offerings," burnt offerings were something He ordained to honor Him properly. I imagine the rules for worship were more to remove sin from it, not because He even truly cares for it. I do believe He rewards it, who wouldn't?

>don't want to live
Your own insanity doesn't really matter, life is something everyone wants. You have your reasons for hating your current situation; not life, that's delusion

>doomed
Several key prophets have pointed out the need for theoretical study, and Jesus says all things spoken other than blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will be forgiven
