RE: Easter 2025: Paradox of the Binary Codes of Life

Deeply rooted and grounded in the soil from which they derive all their nutritional needs, they grow up and out into the light. Few would likely argue with this,
I feel like this is an invitation to argue it. As gardeners we of course know that plants also take in nutrients through their leaves and convert light into nutrients. 😜
Would anyone reading this post disagree that most people dislike the idea of anything being viewed as black and white? Particularly when it comes to statements about what is right or what is wrong? What is true or what is false?
Actually I rather feel like people have a preference for black or white, right or left, wrong or right. It makes things easier. This way they can decide whether you are good or bad depending on if you agree with them or not. We all know do down that life isn't that simple and it's much more nuanced, but that becomes complex and tiring. Shades of grey are certainly more compassionate, but they aren't necessarily as easy to navigate.
On the topic of mono and polytheism, when I was a child and started learning more about different ancient religions (mythologies as they call them now) it occurred to me that there was a common theme with them and Christianity. Christianity has God and the angels while many polytheistic religions had a king of the gods (God?) and various lesser gods (angels?). I feel like there are always threads, both obvious and subtle, that connect us as people across the world making us more alike than different.

Yes, it is @minismallholding:
And you are correct. It is nice to see someone choose to do that, as I personally have no problem with differing points of view. In some ways, I actually prefer them, as I do not know how societies get past some of their differences without the freedom to talk about them without fear.
Writing as a form of expressing ourselves is a fascinating exercise of the heart and mind to me. I am sure others much brighter have probably written about this. As a central part of what I would enjoy reading is anyone studying how clearly we can get ideas articulated. Especially when attempting to get them across whatever differences divide them from the reader.
I think images are very helpful in making the attempt. There are no stats on posts here on Hive or anywhere else which give its readers any idea of the time put into the creation of it. What libraries of images were searched? How many images were scrolled through in the search for the one communicating the most effectively what the author which to convey? Was code generated to ensure their creators were properly credited as the source?
For this post, I found its lead image to be the closest to what I decided to make some attempt to communicate. From my understanding of it, on an Easter Sunday, the sun rising up on a new day is an important part of the story. From there, we all face the decision about how many or how few words we are going to try to transport across the communication bridge, knowing most of our reader's interest shrinks in direct proportion to its length.
So, we end up with succinct statements like one:
Good point! My succinct statement in support of this was in my intro, "Saves a lot of time ..."
Yes, that would be the sentiment of most. I think this might be another aspect of what some bright person may have covered somewhere on what I have written above. When we are truly compassionate towards another, I wonder what this bright person might say about when communicating with them in black and white terms is in their long-term best interest, however difficult it may be short-term?
Yes, we definitely agree on this. At least for people who believe there are a number of aspects of life in this world which cannot be properly understood without acknowledging something greater than themselves. Which is a central theme of this post.
Thank you for investing time to provide some thoughtful input for readers of this post. I am thankful to have "made your acquaintance," as our conversations have been an important highlight of my Hive experience to date. I am happy to see FriendlyMoose has already noticed this, as well. That is a encouraging.
P.S. Yes, I will honor your request.
