The Balance of Power

The universe is holding on various powers and is in constant movement.

The Balance of Power 

The strong tend to crush the weak,
But the weak remain the strongest.      
Immoral deeds undertaken by the strong
Become destructive to themselves.
 
Sooner or later the roles are reversed.
Life goes on, in different combinations
After the rain comes the sun;
After nighttime comes the day
 
Nature is made up of opposites:
Positive and negative, big and small
Leading and trailing, active and inactive
People go from one extreme to the other. 

It is not given to everyone to know
The basic rule of the balance of power
The whole universe is held in balance
And what we face are divergent forces

Contingent upon the manner in which
These forces and elements are used,
The results will be good or bad
Constructive or destructive

It is up to us to use what we have
To produce constructive outcomes. 
Those who do not understand
The characteristics of these forces

Should stay away from them.

I appreciate the philosophical perspective that you have shared here, Emile; and the advice given. Thank you. Love and peace to you,

Balance of power. When in Thailand the Red Shirts were in power, the Yellow Shirts protested, occupied International Airports and peacefully demanded.
When the Yellow Shirts, now in power, were confronted with the same protest, but occupying central town with a peacefully demand, they were shot dead by the peaceful Yellow Shirts.
Balance of power at its best.

Great piece Emile and you capture the flavor of a very distressed world due to massive corruption. Me, I will wait for the ashes and begin anew...

Be always safe,
Karen
