We Know beauty because there is ugly, We know good because there is evil

As I came across some photos recently, I couldn't help to think about one of my favorite Lao Tzu Verses from His Tao Te Ching.

Here is a snippet of it:

Verse 2: Relativity

We know beauty because there is ugly

We know good because there is evil

Being and not being

having and not having,

create each other.

Difficult and easy,

Long and short,

high and low,

define each other,

Just as before and after follow each other.

The photos were of World Water Day on March 22nd. A series of photos from around the world highlighted the way in which we as people use and abuse water. I know there is a commonality in this world to always want everyone to have the same opportunities as everyone else. But I challenge you to ask yourself if that is what "it" is suppose to happen. Like Lao Tzu was saying, "we know good because there is evil...having and not having create each other" If we all have the same things, would we still construct something as inferior and evil or would the world adapt to pure "good", would we know what "not having" really means?"

Ask yourself

WORLD WATER DAY PICS!!!
