Last night when I was writing my post, I was writing about the dualities transcending. I realized that at a certain point good and evil become one. As I wrote it, I realized that I was entering a very dangerous area.
I can understand the concept of the dualities transcending, but that happens on a different plane of existence. It happens with God where time and space don’t matter and where everything is one. On this physical plane and in this universe, good and evil certainly do exist. Dualities exist, if only for the purpose of helping my feeble human mind to understand the world around me.
The idea of transcending in this plane is that one person can’t be defined by one moment in time. My mother might have hurt me, but she was so much more than those moments when she did me harm. Other people who have done atrocious evil acts are more than those few moments when they have done harm. I believe that God wants us to see people and ourselves as a whole not just for a single moment in time. Every one of us has moments when we have failed to do the right thing. Some people have done minor acts while others have done horrible acts, but sin is sin in God’s eyes. He forgives all of it and He calls on us to do the same.
In other words, I am saying that we are all God’s children. If I remember that and look at the person’s whole life, then I find it much easier to find understanding, forgiveness, and love when someone falls and commits sin. People don’t act evil twenty-four seven their entire lives. It sort of reminds me of Luke and Darth Vader. He wanted to believe that there was still some good left in his father, and he was willing to die for that belief. I guess I have faith that we are all God’s children and we all have the light of God within us. There’s something miraculous inside each of us and even if it hurts and is challenging, I am willing to love and forgive my brother or sister because I have faith in God.
My faith saved me. May God’s peace reside in all of our hearts.
