Extremists


All evils are equal when they are extreme. - Pierre Corneille

When I was in China, a tour guide talked to me at length about yin and yang. I didn't understand all that he said, but I grasped the notion of harmony. Spirituality has to be discovered or realized in the balance of life. That's what extremists miss. They think that excess, louder, winning, even aggression is more. Surrender is about understanding that less is more.

Today I know that agreement can embrace difference.
