| Dualistic Thinking Destroys Peace |
| From Ilchi Lee’s book Peaceology for Healing SocietyAn underlying philosophy of duality, which sees the self and the world as disparate and separate parts, is at the root of our material
An underlying philosophy of duality, which sees the self and the world as disparate and separate parts, is at the root of our material civilization. Heaven and earth, mind and body, subject and object, god and man, you and me, nature and civilization, good and evil, black and white, yin and yang? Whether you are from the East or the West, these dichotomies are part of the world we live in. In such a world, you have to die so that I might live. It is a matter of you or me. There is no space for you and me. Since we define society and the world in this way, I must conquer you in order to save me and decrease your lot to increase mine. Confrontation, domination, competition, opposition–these are driving forces of dualistic thinking. The result of this is a lack of peace. |
