That's love, being infinitely full of the positive. It has the power to accept and cancel out all negative values and even turn them into positive ones.

If your personal inner wealth account is in the negatives( no positive love), you are as weak as weak gets. To have power, you have to either, borrow and OWE, ask another to just give it to you, or steal it. Most people who are far gone into the spectrum of no positive love, opt to steal it, because their sense of confidence and hope is so shot, they are beyond believing one will even give it to them if they just ask for it or a loan.

The way to rebuild your personal power is through building up positive love resources from within.

Why not break it down to the simplest abstract of Love or positive power. (same thing to me)

I disagree. It isn't necessary to attempt to subject one's will over nature in order to understand the concept of balance with nature. Your reference to "He" belies the fact that different groups of humans developed differently in different areas, and that many cultures understood and respected the concept of keeping a balance with nature.

It logically follows that, if one sustains their very life from the water, plants, and animals present within one's environment, and if one is interested in continuing one's survival within one's environment, it is thus necessary to maintain the quality and survival of these aspects of one's environment one sustains themselves from. No vain struggle agansit this reasonable understanding requied for realization.

For example take disease.  We hate it and constantly search to wipe it out whatever it may be.  Whether or not this is "healthy" is debatable, but it certainly has an influence on the common language and thought.

---

We hate it? I personally realize the nature of disease and fully accept its reality, and prefer to not ruin my emotional experience and blur my direct perception of reality by inflicting myself with negative, emotional reactions agansit the concept of disease.

Taking necessary action agansit the flourishment of aspects of one's environment that are not beneficial to the survival of one's life and one's species does not necessarily imply that one emotionally hates these aspects.


Peace.

I'm trying to discuss how the abstractions of common language and the thought process with regards to society and the individual have become disconnected from the physical existence. If you want to talk about emotional orientation and its affect on the mental process than start another topic and go for it, but stop posting off topic.

Sorry I am late. Look for the dopaminic reward-system and the mechanism of curiosity versa the aversion reactions of the vegetative nervous-system aka stress, leading our attention. For the sources I would have to dig it out again, too.
