Ontological Dualism

This is the only sickness we ever need worry about.

Dualism is the distriction of things.

Dialectic is the distinction of thigs but seeing their relatioship which makes them opposites or different. For example we may see tables and chairs as separate, but we only ever compare them to see the difference because they tend to come together as a dining unit. We don't often compare elephants with jealousy to see their difference do we!

Ontological Dualism is the distinction of things, but we no dialectic awareness and with it reinforced by the (unprovable) belief that the things "really" are copletely separate as though they lived in diferent universes.

Ontological Dualism is the source of all evil because the holder can then see other things as totally different and so has no regard for them.

Watching the film Gandhi today for the first time while there is a lot of wisdom also what a waste of time for the man. Afterall where was the difference between Indians and English anyway? The colonial rules saw a difference, and Gandhi simply took that up and forced it apart. And then it got forced apart more into Muslim, Hindus, Sikhs, Tamils etc etc. So no suprise there was so much violence to what on the surface was non-violent because at root it is a violent idea to separate in a total way.

Do Indians really think they are ontologically different from Pakistanis? Unfortunately they often do. That is evil.
