Zen #8
Treasure
what you attain.
TRUTH
is like gravity.
The weight of each
issue influences the laws of the universe.
However, when the
issue is broke apart into smaller issues,
the solutions to each section
may lead to a
different conclusion.
So,
of the little independent gravities
can pull one's decisions to different places
than they would by combining them
all into one problem
of one gravity.
Social
gravitation.
Like
a deck of cards, truths can be grouped into losing hands and winning
bluffs.
We don't care if
there are a few homeless persons sleeping in the alleys.
But the moment there
are a dozen, or someone is harassed by them,
the solutions
suggested are a lot different than helping one person to have a
home.
Sections are best
altered individually, than trying to fix them all at once.
Same with people,
it's easier to deal with them individually than to fight them as
an army.
We need to change
from social solutions created as military maneuvers against groups
or types of people to solutions that can be applied to each individual.
When we create solutions
that will benefit any one single person, we will actually be solving
our problems for society.
