Nature is complex in her simplicity. She loves those who try to understand her and receives them into her bosom (the grave); the rebellious conquerors of nature, too, receive from her the same treatment. Nature remains a mystery. Every philosophy that the understanding man has proclaimed as truth has been falsified before the ink is dry on his thesis.
Man struggles against the inevitable. The inevitable is the reality! This reality takes no notice of private wishes and aspirations of the puny ignorant man. Unwilling to admit this, successive generations of men have invented "other" philosophies. One school of philosophers has challenged another school and declared that their invention is more permanent and truly and totally universal! All this inevitably leads to conflict, to aggression and to violence.
Conflict is born of ignorance. Wisdom sees different forces as co-operative agents. Wisdom is synthesis. Wisdom recognizes that even the threatening, "pull in the opposite direction" is inevitable when the pendulum swings and this recognition acts as the moderating influence. Conflict is avoided, coexistence is realized and cooperation made possible. Aggression yields place to love. Love is God. May God be with you.
