Once upon a time, a long while back, a man was born called Adam ... then about the same time there was a woman born called Eve ...
At first they saw each other as equals and their "parent" as the ultimate equal (=) ... all "three" loving each other equally (=) and unconditionally ... a very happy "family" with very few differences ... none that were a "problem" ... their unity was cooperative and creatively synergistic, what differences they had they called natural diversity and used their unique talents toward a common goal ... there was peace and prosperity in the valley garden !
They, the man and the woman, then "came together" and children were "created" ... but the first two children were boys who later became men ... and they became "confused" because the "balance" no longer existed and the "original parent" (=) was "replaced with the "two" more immediate parent(s) ...
In their confusion, one of the boys took after dad and the other took after mom and became, rather than equals (=), opposites (+/-) and began to fight about it ... there had arisen a Gap or Void (/) where before was a "Bridge" (=) of equality ...
The "original Trinity" (+=-) of overall Balance, Dad Adam (+), Parent GOD (=), and Mom Eve (-) became distorted with Dualistic views (+/-) by the kids ... they could no longer "see" the "distant" original "parent" and the Natural Trinity (+=-) and it's value (love) and meaning for their future ...
In their (the kids) minds there was just two parents, they did NOT know of or believe in "Old Grand Parent" ... so they took up "sides" of opposition based upon jealousy and fear of each other ...
One kid identified with Dad and called himself a conservative republican and did not much see anything to like in the brother who identified with Mom and called himself a liberal democrat ... now, remember, they were really both very confused and unity with cooperation was not seen as useful ... in fact they feared each other rather than loved each other ... maybe they had sensed a gap developing in their own parents who's attention had been diverted from the original parent by the squabbles of the kids who consumed so much time with problems ... maybe some "favoritism" developed in the parents to match that of the kids looking in the other direction ... (?) ... whatever, problems multiplied because the former peace associated with unity and loving cooperation was no longer so evident ...
Eventually all HELL broke loose when the one kid killed the other kid ... and nothing has been as good ever since ...
The moral of the story, and the offered lesson, is that with a Trinity of Love (+=-) there will be peace in the valley and cooperative synergism resulting in creative Utopian conditions ... where each and all are "winners" using their natural diversity to help each other solve any common problems that might arise ...
The alternative being non-cooperative conflict across the Void (/) of misunderstanding and distrust causing FEAR and ever more of the same all around ... resulting in nothing but conflict and eventual destruction of the one by the other ... lions and hawks killing off the lambs and doves ... the men killing the women and the conservatives killing the liberals ...
Does this ring any bells at all with anyone ... ???
(+=-)>(+/-) ... IMnsHO. ... :-)
