Twisted Philosophical Question?

Question

We know that the Universe is completely balanced and fair. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

For every force, there is a counter-force. This goes down to the tiniest electron and this law always stays true.

The total energy in the Universe remains constant.

So, picture a person who has suffered most of their life. They had a short, painful, agonizing life.

At the same time, there is another person who had a great, long life. Very few physical pains, never hungry, plenty of sex and orgasms etc.

Obviously, these two people had completely different lives.

How do you think the Universe, which is fair and harmonized, will correct the inequalities experienced by these two individuals??

flux,

feelings are energy. every thought and every feeling we have is the result of neurons firing in our brains. all of this is theoretically calculable, but practically impossible for us right now...

Answer 1

Assuming you are correct the universe can not correct that which is already in balance. when you have one man in a negative life and one in a positive life that equals it out all by itself.

In order for your theory to make sense it has to work as in whole categories meaning there would be an equally amount of negative life's and positive life's - it would not be able to break it down to equal out each human but work as one whole unit. It could only understand human as one element

Answer 2

Yes, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The positives and the negatives in this case balance themselves out. If you look on a societal level, we have to maintain a certain amount of happiness, positive and negative, for the society to exist. If negative starts outbalancing the positive, there is a revolution of the societal state, and the balance is re-established.

Unfortunately, I don't think that the counter forces work on such a small individual basis in matters of human existence. You may not see the equal and opposite reaction directly visited upon you. However, no one can get ahead without stepping on the heads of those behind them. By the nature of society, for every person who accumulates great wealth and goodness, there are those who have nothing, those who may have been making the dollars that the weathly person now has, but who have not had the correct luck or effort put in to achieve it.

It the end, any imbalances in society in general will eventually even out on their own. Individual inequalities are often caused by the reactions to their own actions, and therefore will not be simply corrected because they exist. However, the inequalities can be corrected with appropriate actions from the individuals to cause equilibrating reactions within their own lives.

Answer 3

It already has. Their lives are the result of their individual vibrations put forth throughout their lives. The collective vibrations of our surroundings, (family, society, country, culture) also have an effect, but affect us primarily as much as the attention we focus upon it.

The universe doesn't have to do anything else. This isn't a competition between individuals. The universe takes the bigger picture into consideration. Now these two souls take the experiences of these physical existences and add them to their overall growth as souls or spiritual beings and go forward to continue the remainder of their true lives as spiritual being in whatever manner they wish. They may even wish to come back and do another life in the physical plane. Maybe a different type of life. For the experience and the growth. Overall, the one with the harder life will ultimately experience the greatest growth, spiritually speaking.

Answer 4

Quality of life does indeed count as energy, because we are energy and everything is energy if we consider the smallest particles of us (electrons and neutrons) moving constantly in every single thing that exists. We also send out certain energy by thinking, saying and doing something.

So, as you say, if for every force, there is a counter-force, and you have a person with a short tough life, and a person with a great long life - how does the universe correct the ''inequalities''?

The universe is like a big organism, we all are a part of it, like cells in the body or its organs who have their specific roles. So the first person has deviated from its original role, its role as a ''cell'' has to heal. He or she can choose which kind of energy (thoughts, words, deeds) he/she will allow to expand - I think he/she can learn that from the other person, who is obviously doing something that works for him/her.

Like this, the ''sick cell'' can heal, which means the universe can bring more and more balance into ''its body.''

Answer 5

It has recently been noted that neural energies are not electrical because they don't produce heat, a an alternate theory proposed is that the neural sparks may, instead, indicate the presence of sound waves.

If it is the case that feelings are more like sound, discordance is as equally in balance as concordance, so the universe isn't put out of balance by suffering or outrageous fortune in the same place, it is put out of harmony.

That aside, I do tend to imagine that there would be an overall neutrality to the universe, and I think if anything it balances that neutrality in a similar way that he earth does, via exchange of ionic properties in the system.

Answer 6

the universe may be fair and harmonized in some cases, but that hardly means that it must be so in all cases. To stick with the physics examples the second law of thermodynamics would seem to disprove your idea of balanced forces. That law says that the overall level of entrophy tends to increase. So the level of entrophy (what would seem to us to be disorder and chaos) is constantly increasing. Gas molecules in an orderly arrangement in a box will tend not to maintain that arrangement. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2nd_law_of_thermodynamics

The "evening out" of the universe (order giving way to disorder) is not met with any counter-force. And in case you want to say that that "evening out" is the balance of the universe asserting itself, you should realize that this "balance" is far removed from human interests. If attained it would mean the nonexistence of all forms of life. So even if what you say is true about the universe being balanced, there is no need to think that that balance is in any way related to human ideas of justice.

I'm not trying to rain on your parade. I just don't think that physics gives any reason to suspect any kind of cosmic justice. Instead of holding out hope for some balance of right and wrong in some afterlife we should be working to make this life as good as possible. Instead of counting on cosmic balance, we need to be doing things like giving to unicef or oxfam so that people don't have short painful lives.

Answer 7

Do you mean in terms of going to heaven vs. going to hell? If you don't, then I don't believe it's going to be balanced in, say, another person or anything. That wouldn't be fair. If the universe had to constantly balance everything out, various people would always get the short end of the stick and others would get everything. THAT wouldn't be fair, so everything would have to be rebalanced. It would be an endless cycle, and how is that fair?

If you do mean, is the happy person going to go to hell so he'll be balanced?, then it depends. If the person in agony was generally a decent person, they would go to heaven. God understands that it's very hard to be positive when you're in pain. However, if he was, say, a rapist, then he would go to hell regardless of what his life was like.

Answer 8

"A Canticle for Leibowitz" by Walter M Miller Jr. a gloomy submit apocalyptic novel. Black comedy abounds. "Riddley Walker" by Russell Hoban yet another after the conflict novel with a very unusual language. "The Butterfly Revolution" by William Butler. I examine this while i develop into approximately 10 years previous and particularly enjoyed it. i assume i develop into unquestionably inspired lower back then. could not undergo in suggestions the author and found the positioning decrease than. extra Later: only remembered a novella by Harlan Ellison referred to as "A Boy and His canines". something he wrote before 1985 is greater often than not concept to be twisted.

Answer 9

Two theories (actually maybe one):

Energetically - what you focus on expands

Karmically - the person with the hard life is working equally hard to evolve as the person with the life of ease - the work is just different

Answer 10

Does the universe possess volition, will consciousness and personality? The universe is material, not moral-- it has no regard for us and owes us nothing. Apparent inequities in terms of existence are our problem, and the material universe cares nothing about our need for justice, equity, or our desire for a happy ending.
