The chaos within the ephemeral flames of the campfire translates into the calm of ebbing time to a distant onlooker. You observe the stillness of world surrounding you, as if time were itself suspended, and simultaneously sense the fire gnawing away those moments of intense awareness every passing flick of the flame. The fascination lasts not in whether the fire grows hungrier towards the sky every time, but with the realisation that the strongest of winds, while succeeding in wavering the path of the flames, could but infinitesimally quiver the foundation of intense white under the glowing orange and black.
But does stability truly warrant greater respect than growth? To the diplomat, both stability and growth may be necessary to make for an effective outcome. To the philosopher, maybe, the deduction that growth feeds stability, requiring both to co-exist, could uphold the theory of universal dualism, confirmation bias ignored. And maybe it is indeed all true to an extent. After all, every balanced solution is ideal. Note: ideal. Practically, seldom do human systems retain their inherent balance.
And here lies the innate difference between natural and human systems.
So should one go back to the natural ways of our ancestors, to bridge the gap of dualism? Should one even try to minimise the dualistic nature of objects, at least those manifested by humans? Or should we even try to maintain balance in world around us in the first place?
If not, well then, I ask of you to tell me if stability is more imperative than growth.
