In Today's lesson, I'll explain how Everything began.
There was Nothing but Darkness, (free flowing in Nowhere)
and suddenly free flowing photons (from Somewhere)
surprised Nothing. When Darkness confronted Light (photons),
they split the cosmos into two equal but opposing forces.
Nowhere knew not from where Somewhere came.
But that didn’t surprise Somewhere, who didn't know
what, when, why, where, or how, about Anything, Anyway.
Neither side trusted the other, and their ignorance led to
a lot of stress, leading to some Life and some Death.
The effects of this stress generated lots of energy, both
physical and intellectual. So this created a lot of Positive
and Negative exchanges of ideas, some Dark and some Light.
Some or Others claim this as the origin of the battle of the sexes.
So there must already have been Male and Female, Good and Bad.
From this chaotic process Evolution originated, which cast
Light on the side of the theory of Opposites. Winners and Losers
either Progressed or Retreated. Beautiful and Ugly, Strong
and Weak, Smart and Dumb, and all the rest of the mess
we live with broke from the gate of Light and Darkness.
Theoretical scientists and mystics, those Strange but Familiar
folks who think deeply about first causes and end results say
it is not False, but True that Everything exists in pairs
of competing opposites: like Us--Them; Right and Wrong.
Left-- Right. Fast--Slow. Up and Down. Hot and Cold.
If we imagine that Everything exists, we must concede that
Everything’s opposite--Nothing--stands there along side
Everything, Like it or Not, must Live or Die by this rule.
If one studies Nothing long enough, Nothing's opposite—
Anti-Nothing (or maybe even Everything)--will drop by.
Eventually, it all was chaos. Love and Hate. Order met Disorder.
Everything and Nothing knew Something or Anything was amiss.
Modern and time-worn scientists have proposed a corollary: opposites
attract. Like if a Positive meets a Negative, or a Plus meets a Minus,
they will marry first but inevitably they will end up vaporized.
Over time No One existed only a Short time with Long Time,
its opposite, argued with Anti-No One, or Every One, or just
Anyone. It's the law. Though, it's hard to believe that Any One
can be Anti-Every One. Surely, Any One can find Some One
to like without vaporizing the entire Known (and Unknown) world.
Some Tony and No Tony, First and Last Tony, Male and Female
Tony, Yin Tony and Yang Tony, We and They Tony, (Us or Them
Tony), All Tony and No Tony, Dark and Light Tony, Tall or Short
Tony, Known and Unknown Tony. Indeed, if Tony meets Anti-Tony
they might secretly want to stick around and have some little Tony(i)s.
