Harmony

I'm reading a book on American Indian spirituality right now and it talked about how most groups saw life in terms of harmony. I've read such about Oriental societies too, at least in history. I do believe there is a definite place for black and white type right and wrong and I know that Indian societies did a lot wrong, even appalling, as did ancient Oriental societies, so I'm not for getting rid of ours for theirs.

But there is something too about looking at life in terms of harmony. It fine tunes right and wrong, or potentially does. Does it work or not, does it fit or doesn't it?

Even fundamentalist Christian forms of right and wrong find ways to fine tune things, adjust outlooks, but looking through the eyes of harmony seems more flexible about it. So while not trading mine for theirs, I do get a certain perspective seeing life to include harmony instead of just memorizing or reinforcing preconceived, though time tested, structures of right and wrong.

Again, it comes down to management and perspective. How do you handle anything? Mostly it's seek and ye shall find, if you do seek, really seek.
