Good and evil flow as an integrated unit?

Good and evil, fortune and misfortune, do they flow as an integrated unit?

An idea that I have been wondering about for a long time now.

An interesting quote by Alan Watts, a man who has studied many forms of philosophy formally, has an endless number of degrees in the subject:

"The whole process of nature is an integrated process of immense complexity, and it’s really impossible to tell whether anything that happens in it is good or bad — because you never know what will be the consequence of the misfortune; or, you never know what will be the consequences of good fortune."


In his book the Tao of Physics, physicist Fritjof Capra explains esoteric philosophies (Chinese and Indian).

One particular chapter in it, "THE UNITY OF OPPOSITES" caught my attention.

Zoom Out

zoom in on the demons
focus on the demons
and they occupy your whole canvas
zoom out and you'll see
there's beautiful magic all around
no rush
life begins
everyday

Have demons occupied your life?
No
Only your perspective
Only your vision

You'll snap out of it
no rush
life begins
everyday

Past is irrelevant
don't let the tail
wag the dog

Don't drive
looking in the rear view mirror

Look into it only once in a while
to guide you

Temporal Distortions and Quantum States

Is it a Sunrise
Is it a Sunset

They look the same
They feel the same

I'm here for you now

I'll be here two thousand years from now
I'll be here two million years from now
I'll be here two billion years from now

Maybe I am eternal
Maybe I am a temporal distortion
that stretches
into infinity
I don't know me
I don't know you
But I know
I'll be here for you eternally
