Quintessence of Life

Pure Light and Pure Darkness

Our universe is created
from Pure Light
Standing alone in its
solemn glorious
beauty and majesty

Whilst Pure Darkness
is the fleeting
shadow, a virtual
silhouette
Whose only presence
is the absence of
Pure Light

A Metaphor of Life

We, the mortal beings
are mere Brightness
A metaphorical
juxtaposition of light
(goodness) and
dark (evil)
Lodged in our
unfathomable
vacillating hearts
The arena of
contestations
(push-pull factor)
between:
truth and
falsehood;
confrontation
and negotiation;
theory and
practice, etc
The very essence of
reality of life… to be

Nature of Brightness

And so, goodness
overcomes evil when
our Brightness
moves towards
Pure Light
Whereas evil takes
control when
Brightness dims as
it heads toward
Pure Darkness

This relationship is
ingrained in the very
nature/essence of
our existence
So, it’s not possible to
completely purge
evil or goodness
within our being
For they truly define
the values of all
relationships in this
simulated transitory
world

Primordial Knowledge and Dialectics

We are privileged with
the grace of our:
primordial
consciousness;
universal intellect;
conscience; and
soul’s moral
compass
Laced with added
experiences and
wisdom
To balance the
dialectical
relationships
Between eternal pairs
of attributes/virtues
That contradicts but at
the same time
complement each
other
The choice offered to
discerning minds
Wishing to navigate
the legacies of this
mysterious yet
fulfilling world
