The Scope of Application of the Law of Positive and Negative Energy Summing to Zero
Xuefeng
January 26, 2024
(Translation edited by Qinyou)
While exploring the origin of the universe and the balance of cosmic energy, especially the principles of natural law, the mechanism of nature, and the principle of justice in Tao, I discovered this law, namely, “the sum of positive and negative energy is zero.”
If there is a positive universe, there is a negative universe; if there is positive energy, there is negative energy; if there is a positive electron, there is a negative electron; if there are people, there are anti-people; if there are gods, there are demons; if there is heaven, there is hell, etc. This law indicates that what is given and what is gained are equal, or in other words, giving + gaining = zero.
This law is the balance mechanism of the universe, ensuring that the development of anything does not go to extremes. This balance mechanism is the natural law and also embodies the justice of Tao. Understanding and applying this law, we will know the mechanism of nature.
Now a question arises, since the sum of positive and negative energy is zero, then, is happiness + pain = zero? Is love + hate = zero? Is cruelty + kindness = zero? Is enjoyment + suffering = zero? Etc.
There is a very obvious fact that seems to prove that this law only applies to the category of energy and does not apply to other categories. This fact is that the Super Celestial Beings in the Celestial Islands Continent of the Elysium World can enjoy eternity without worries and pains, and they will not suffer or be punished; while many lives trapped in hell are “irretrievable” and have to endure eternal pain; from the perspective of a single life form, the law of the sum of positive and negative energy being zero is not established, and there is no formula of happiness + pain = zero.
This means that the law of the sum of positive and negative energy being zero applies to the macroscopic, not to the microscopic; it applies to the whole, not to the individual.
Is this really the case?
Let some life or lives enjoy a good life forever for no reason, let some life or lives suffer pain and torture forever for no reason, is this possible? If it is possible, where is the natural law? Where is the justice of the universe? If it is not possible, where is the principle? Is it necessary to go through suffering and torture to enjoy a good and happy life? Do you have to endure hardship before you can go to heaven?
What I know and understand is that the law of the sum of positive and negative energy being zero applies to all fields, both macroscopic and microscopic, both the whole and the individual. There is no unprovoked blessing to enjoy, and there is no unprovoked sin to suffer. If you want to enjoy the benefits of heaven forever, you must meet the standards of heaven for life. This standard mainly depends on the following three items.
The quality of LIFE must meet the standard.
Have enough merit, that is, capital.
No worldly ties, no debt.
To meet the above three standards, it is actually a very difficult and painful process. In this sense, happiness + pain = zero is established. Once the standard is met, you can enjoy eternal happiness, but the possibility of meeting the standard is very small. It is a miracle if one percent of humans meet the standard. If you do not meet the standard, you will inevitably suffer endless suffering and torture, reincarnation endlessly, there is no end in sight, because we will find that we are suffering from pain and torture, but we are enjoying short-term happiness and joy, this is like a person, every day go to work to make money, spend all the money you earn every day, you can’t save a penny in the bank of heaven, where is the money to enjoy a good life in heaven? Some people complain that the Greatest Creator is unfair, saying that the common people are suffering pain, enduring hardship, and bearing sins; why doesn’t the Greatest Creator relieve the suffering of the common people?
I asked, “Who among the common people is willing to heed the call of the Greatest Creator and walk the path of the Greatest Creator? Can you find one? While disregarding the call of the Greatest Creator and complaining about the perceived injustice of the Greatest Creator, can you really blame the Greatest Creator?”
Perhaps someone might ask, “How is it that the law of the sum of positive and negative energy becoming zero fails for those wealthy individuals who, without enduring much pain or torment, enjoy a life of luxury?”
The law has not failed. The perceived failure of the law is due to two reasons: one, you have not seen the pressures and trials they have endured; two, you have not seen their future. They have shouldered more risk and mental strain than the average person, experiencing psychological and spiritual torment. Therefore, they are entitled to enjoy material wealth, but their future is bleak. The wealthier a person is, the greater their responsibility for the destruction of nature, the more money, the greater the sin. The more material wealth a person possesses, the heavier their sin, and the more severe their future punishment. Therefore, one should never envy or admire the rich, but rather pity them.
In summary, the law of the sum of positive and negative energy applies across all domains.

I have found that the biggest deterrent to assholes is asking "why?" Over and over.
"We can't have universal healthcare!"
Why?
"Because I don't wanna pay for a strangers health!"
Why?
"Because if they can't afford their own health care that isn't my problem!"
Why?
And so on and so on. Keep making them dig. Keep making them explain until they can't anymore and are faced with nothing but the ugly mask of bias and prejudice. Only then can they truly see that taking it off is an option. Whether they do or not is up to them. And that choice tells you whether they deserve more of your energy or not.
Trans kids can't be trans. Why? Why not? Why?
Free food is bad for ppl. Why? Why? Why? Why is feeding ppl bad?
Why?
Why is helping one another bad?
Why is doing what humans are genetically designed to do, to help and care for one another to ensure survival, bad?
#money aside#just think about it#then realize we HAVE the money#we have the money to fund all of this#through laundering in goverments and billionares who refuse to share wealth for the bettermemt of mankind#then get angry#and be radicalized#helping your fellow man through kindness is the biggest fuck you to capitalism#anti capitalism#politics#democratic socialism#socialism#eat the rich#and do this to yourself when you have bias#why did you think that way or do that action?#why was this your first response difference?#dig until you cant...and take off the mask

Diversity Win: Is "Crazy Rich" POC Representation Necessarily Empowering?
sodapopsculptor asked:
I’m writing a story with two sets of protagonists: A trio with a Black girl, a Latino, and a Vietnamese-American boy who all come from middle-upper class to ridiculously rich families, and a pair of white working-middle class sisters. They’re all heroes of this story. I’ve seen way too many rich white people and poor poc people in fiction, and I’m kinda getting sick of it, but I’m worried that by having the poc kids be rich and the white girls not so much, I’ll be reinforcing the idea that poc somehow rule the world. The only time the rich kids use their status as leverage is when the Asian threatens to sic his cop dad on a bully (race unstated but I imagined him as white) picking on a freshman, and during the Black girl’s birthday party, when she pays the biggest jock there fifty bucks (And later says offhandedly that it was just what she had in her pocket) to chase off a creep hitting on her.
OP, have you ever seen the “diversity win!” meme before?
I understand that your motivation for these narrative choices is to give POC a chance, if you will, to be the rich characters. But it is evident from this ask that you have not asked yourself what this entails. I want to ask you to critically examine the race and class intersections you’re creating here, as well as these kids’ roles in oppressive systems.
You explain that these rich POC are heroes and only have righteous reasons for leveraging their power.
But is your Black girl character aware of the potential disciplinary and/or legal consequences her jock accomplice might face while she has the resources to keep her hands clean? Are you?
Is your Asian character aware of how much of an abuse of power it is to “sic” a cop on someone, and the sheer amount of harm a criminal record or incarceration does to a juvenile with behavior issues? Are you?
So you want to put POC in positions of power for #representation.
Does it resonate with the group you’re representing?
Do you research and portray the unique ways race, ethnicity, class, and majority vs. minority status come together?
Or are you putting these characters in oppressive hegemonic roles for the sake of a power fantasy, on behalf of a group you're not even in?
To your question, you're not reinforcing the idea that "POC rule the world" because such a generalized belief does not exist. Instead, you're reinforcing:
The idea that society has “winners” and “losers.”
The idea that the problem with disproportionately powerful people is the lack of “equal opportunity” as opposed to the power imbalance to begin with.
The idea that those in oppressive positions of power need only have the right intentions to justify their use of it.
To be clear: that is not to say that you can't have jerk aristocrat billionaire millionaire crazy rich POC. Evil or mean rich characters are fun! I have some myself! You can even have rich characters who are gentle-hearted and well-intentioned, but you have to know the ways in which they’re privileged and decide how aware of that your characters are. That’s no problem.
But if you think that wealthy and powerful POC would have the same values and priorities as their poorer counterparts, you’re deluding yourself. There’s a reason why the quote “power corrupts” exists. There’s a reason why no matter where you look on the globe, there are historical dictators and tyrants.
If you want bratty rich POC who lack regard for the consequences of their actions, because you want bratty rich characters, great! If you want them because it would be uplifting or empowering representation? You’re doing it for the wrong reason.
~ Rina
I fully agree with Rina, and truly want to emphasize the last paragraph.
If you want bratty rich POC who lack regard for the consequences of their actions, because you want bratty rich characters, great! If you want them because it would be uplifting or empowering representation? You’re doing it for the wrong reason.
I don't think you need to aim to subvert or purposely make all the BIPOC rich and powerful and the white people poor and suffering. Add diversity and include upper class rich and class privileged BIPOC, sure thing! And you can avoid your fears of intentional subversion message by including rich and powerful white characters as well, even if they're not the focus of your story. Just their existence helps. You could also include middle-class characters of Color as well.

I think Aventio and Screwtio shippers shouldn't fight. After all, Ratio has two hands!
That's right. Two hands.
One for his chalk.
One for his codex.
Both of which he's holding in an embarrassed death grip as they chat away with each other about him.
#I'm on to something here#screwtio#aventio#hsr aventurine#veritas ratio#dr ratio#screwllum#hsr#honkai star rail#now as a disclaimer I'm not personally a huge fan of aventio#exclusively because i think they are so SO much funnier as gay friends#but something about combining the two clicks really well to me#Aventurine and Screwllum would be pretty fantastic metamours i think#they'd have a lot of fun playing off each other#but also Screwllum being there to dispute Aventurine's doubts over whether or not Ratio cares as a verified outside perspective#listing off shit like upticks in heartrate pupil dialation etc on top of being like#he talks about you fondly he knows your favorite things i can personally attest that you are very evidently important to him#stuff Aventurine can't easily write off when coming from not only an outside perspective but also a literal Genius#and on the flip side Aventurine would finally have someone other than Ratio and the Trailblazer he can talk to with relative ease#someone who has also been through a frankly incredibly traumatizing historical event#someone who is also under constant pressure to perform a certain way#someone who has gained wealth and power at the cost of carrying responsibilities on his shoulders and never being truly free#appearing free to anyone who glances but neither of them really are#Screwllum seemingly able to freely pursue whatever research he wants but ultimately permanently shackled with his titles#and public pressure to be the perfect poised representative for all of inorganic kind#forever treading the line of being both a desirable ally and a sufficient threat that you wouldn't want to cross him#and similarly Aventurine stuck in his cycle that he feels only death can free him from of gambling with his life on the line#because the IPC basically owns him#because let's be honest Jade's offer was just a lifetime labor contract he couldn't refuse#granted the illusion of freedom through gaining money and power but never truly free

do you. do you think andalites evolved to never get a stuffy nose or are allergies like, twice as lethal sgdjs
there's a theory i've read (i'm not sure if it's a theory or if it's propped up by something i've glossed over in the books, and i'm not sure whose theory it is so i dont know who to tag) that's like... andalites wiped out a large percentage of the wildlife on their planet out of fear, as prey animals, and that's why they're stuck with like 1 bird and 3 other creatures on their planet. so i'd think they've also wiped out a lot of external-influence disease on their homeworld? they're really good at meddling with stuff, and they notoriously HATE when somebody is "weak" or incapacitated in any way on account of the raging ableism.
i think if an andalite were allergic to pollen it would probably be a foreign contaminant from whatever planet they're visiting. it would be really funny if ax were allergic to ragweed pollen, or if aldrea were allergic to the foliage on the hork-bajir homeworld, and i think if they were it would be Very severe/hard to deal with.
also technically with morphing tech (as we see from rachel) you can be allergic to the dna of a creature, so surely this has happened to a few andalites before, esp. since there's an andalite word for "vomiting up the creature that ails you" (or maybe hereth illint just means "to vomit when you've got no mouth" and it's used in context of rachel's situation because that's the only word they have to describe it)
#response#txt#andalite#kinda just rambling#i'm sure the expansive tumblr animorphs fandom could build on this better than i could alone... a wealth of knowledge

Speaking about Darcy not marrying Anne de Bourgh, I've often wondered why Lady Catherine was so into Darcy marrying Anne when Colonel Fitzwilliam would probably be more interested. He needs to marry rich to maintain his lifestyle, he has no estate of his own (that we know of) so he's be staying at Rosings, he's family just like Darcy. Seems like a win win situation to me
This question is in reference to this question.
See you're not thinking like a rich person; that's the problem with your question. Lady Catherine is already sitting on a very large estate, but the purpose of life is to make your wealth even bigger and better! That is why your rich daughter needs to marry an equally rich guy so you can have two massive estates.
What are you a communist? Do you believe in equal distribution of wealth? Are you trying to push some sort of charity case on Anne de Bourgh?!?!?!?!
So yeah, that's why.
#the point of wealth is to get more wealthy#why? no idea#I do not relate to this at all#but that is the answer#question response#lady catherine#colonel fitzwilliam#this is a joke I have nothing against equal distribution of wealth#but yeah you are being too fair

I know that logically Draxum probably got away with making the mutagen and oozequitos because he was very careful about hiding his research and whatnot, but the much funnier explanation is that he's already so weird that when he rolled up to an academic conference two months after his lab exploded the first time with his 200 page paper on how he's going to bioengineer mosquitos to be the size of his hand (without giving a single reason as to why he wants to do this), the most he was met with was maybe a few raised eyebrows and a couple people wondering how he still gets grant money
#rottmnt#rottmnt au#minor interference au#rottmnt baron draxum#rise of the tmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt fanfiction#it's of course much more logical that he has at least some degree of independent wealth he uses to fund his experiments#but the funnier explanatiom is that people's response to his research proposal is just#'there's no way this is gonna go well. but i wanna see how it goes investing at 200 notes'#because the idea of draxum being so so particular about his reputation and how people see him#only for his actual reputation to be 'he's batshit insane' is so funny to me#this is a man who canonically blew up his lab TWICE in thirteen years#like it is not normal scientist behavior to keep having major lab accidents like that#he tries to criticize someone else's research like 'have you consider that your methodololgy may be flawed'#'well have you considered not BLOWING UP your HOUSE'#he's a mad scientist and everyone around him is completely used to it is what im saying

honestly i think a big part of cursedwip is asking the question “and what if the vampire was poor.”
#like. dee’s family is wealthy. much more classically vampiric.#even tho they’re not immortal they’ve been amassing wealth & power for generations in a way that makes them feel immortal.#but adrianna is broke.#you don’t see vampires in media being poor.#how does that affect the way they are perceived. what unique challenges does that present.#(this is in response to the ‘dracula didn’t live in a castle bc he’s a vampire but because he’s a count’ thing)#like. i can’t think of any vampire media where the vampire isn’t well-off and living on some elevated plane of class & wealth.#even in the YA vampire craze. they were all going to elite schools or had basements full of portraits or houses on acres of land.#adrianna dropped out of school and can’t pay her rent.#and even if she WASNT a criminal. public perception would turn her into a predator anyway.#bc she can’t afford blood from the hospital. so that would make her Dangerous to every human she meets right??#(not right. but. when there’s bigotry! and fear! etc!!)#izzy.txt#cursedwip

Just to round out my complaints I think that the factions have disappointed me the MOST out of this game, more so than any flaws with the character writing and dialogue. They are just each such a microcosm of the failures of the world building or respect for past writing… I know this term is used to death and has a bad reputation in this space specifically but there is no moral grey area with them at all, they are all perfectly noble heroic Paragon groups and it is unbelievably boring, there is so much lost potential with all of them… especially with the groups that ARE historically portrayed as borderline evil like the Crows and often the Wardens… they’re all just plucky freedom fighters or guardians of the innocent and it just is a missed opportunity in the worst way, and glaringly deliberate. There is no nuance to any of them, any flaws that are presented are smoothed away and justified or hand waved as “history” it’s genuinely terrible.
#the mourn watch should be extremely nuanced. are they using spirits like objects? experimenting on them? there is a huge animal rights angl#with spirits that I personally always interpret#and researchers of spirits should be … problematic in some ways#the lords literallt steal artifacts but are somehow culturally responsible and ethical and never stray from that?#so they don’t extract resources from communities who should own the gold and jewels and wealth they’re taking at the very least#the shadow dragons have no detractors among the common ppl who advocate for the status quo? it’s just Robin Hood?#idk it just seems so. meh to me overall.#this one I will tag.#veilguard critical#veilguard spoilers

okay so. don’t crucify me. but su she and jin guangyao do actually make some pretty compelling points.
#critical class analysis of mdzs when???? when will i write it when????#but like.#like#fuck okay i love how it ends#because i love a happy ending#but i just keep thinking about how su she and ESP jin guangyao are right that… they kinda… had to do what they did#like su she has a few more blunders and he’s clearly jealous/resentful but… he’s not necessarily wrong about being looked down on in the la#for reasons he can’t really control#and jgy… where to even begin like okay he shouldn’t have done all those horrible things#but they ALL did horrible things#the difference is that jgy did not have anyone backing him if he fucked up if he wanted to live in dignity#he had to make sure his spot was secure#lxc lwj and whoever else was in the guanyin temple can judge him all they want#but except for wwx they’re all clan leaders or uncontested heirs#they have a level of wealth & security that allows them to make judgements on the actions of others#knowing that they can act basically free from lasting consequence#the only person who isn’t immune is wei wuxian but even then… he had the jiang clan in the past#which. it’s complicated. i know it’s complicated.#but he did attain a lot of privilege thru his connection with them and they did protect him as much as they reasonably could have#in the circumstances they were given#for the most part#and then in the future he has lan wangji who will literally kill anyone that comes at him#makes sure he’s warm and fed and kept entertained and away from pesky things like#responsibilities#and difficult conversations#so even tho he once knew a life like jgy’s he’s so far removed from it now#and just#sorry there’s a reason why all of this is in the tags#it’s not super clear in my head yet#but this is the start i promise i will come back to it

Them not even waiting for Adachi to take the pic? Zhao and Joongi STANDING NEXT TO EACH OTHER? Kiryu not giving a shit about any of that? Is that fucking ICHINAN I see?
