I think Oscar Wilde once said "There's no such thing as good and evil; only the mind makes them so, " or somewhere along the lines of that train of thought (I really should find that quote). In any case, good and evil depend upon each other, not only to keep the balance of the universe but for logical reasons. The world depends on comparisons, and without comparisons, life would have neither high points or low points. Life would be a line. Maybe life wouldn't even be a line but nothingness. As discussed in Tiffany's blog entry, labels are a necessity, even though they take away from our individuality. Labels have their drawbacks, but they are also used to distinguish ourselves. Just as Theory Toolbox explains in one of its many wondrous chapters, to have community, one must inevitably exclude others. Conformity comes into play. But if we're all conformists, then who's an original? Was there ever an original? We have idols and gods and what have you, but there isn't a way to prove that Jesus wasn't a conformist, that he wasn't just one of fifty men created in the image of God. People say we're unique, each and every one of us. Yet we're also conformists--each and every one of us. So does that mean each and every one of us is unique but based off of someone else? For instance, if Bubba conforms to everything Chet stands for, but indubitably fails to be Chet, and if Chet strives to be Chuck, and Chuck Belinda, then are we all imperfect replicas of an in-name-only one-of-a-kind?
