| A mathematical interpretation of reality? |

........ It is possible to regard reality as either positive and negative. Inanimate matter by itself is neutral (although it is the basis of physical life) but with living organisms there is a definite distinction between creation and destruction, development and stagnation, survival and extinction. The positive and negative elements in human beings are even more pronounced because of our ability to control the course of events. What could be more negative than the deliberate destruction of life on this planet and even the planet itself? What can be more positive than the preservation of species and their habitat?
The need to compromise inevitably arises sooner or later. Sometimes it becomes necessary, for example, to destroy in order to survive. This does not alter the fact that our day-to-day existence consists mainly of enriching or impoverishing our own life and the lives of others. To promote happiness or to spread misery are our basic options. To adopt the principle of doing nothing is obviously negative. What is the point of being alive if life consists of inertia and inactivity? Doesn't that indicate that our primary purpose and duty is to be positive? |
