  It sound a little like apathy? I do agree on the fact that everything that exist, we find the negative and positive sides or black and white, good and bad, ugly and beautiful. Like a battery with the negative and positive pole to make it works. It is not easy for me to be in the "neutrality" aspect when the emotions are involved.

  I like this post anyways.

  Thank you Ben.

  This is what we call Unconditional love, true Love, love everything without judgment and condition.

  Wow, that makes sense, and yes we work toward Neutrality, in everything. no judgement. Accepting all as one. Not an easy task at all!

  Hi folks, Hi ben, thanks for sharing your views with this writing.

  This resonates to me, since I've made posts mentioning this very thing called neutrality.

  Here is my perspective of the situation.

  We all know things in this world are not very balanced when it comes to the living conditions and treatment of people.

  With that said, how did it come to be this way. Did it spring up over night when nobody was looking, like the federal reserve, hehe.

  No, these human conditions have been an ongoing process, just as the soul growth of all involved.

  Now, my view of the neutrality word is.

  When we act out in the world in whatever shape or form, the usual way most people have gone about this acting out, is in the form of force.

  Whenever an individual or group uses any kind of force to convey their acting out in the world, it will always cause an equal and opposite force. Though usually this force is preceded by manipulation in some form, since the users of force know that it is easier to force their acts upon others if they are conditioned first to receive this force.

  you may ask why would an equal and opposite force come in response, because in almost all cases, the users of force will create disharmony and thus an opposite reaction to what is intended.

  So I hope my perspective has helped anyone see things from a better vantage point and that the only way to change anything is to be the change, be the example you wish others to follow.

  As we can see in this world, the other ways of force lead to imbalance and disharmony.

  In fact, almost all the dysfunctional human living systems have there origin in the use of force and manipulation in one form or another.

  I have no other solution for the issues in this world, other than I think this neutrality idea is one of the huge lessons to be learned by all, however long it takes. 

  peace love light

  I like this one, it fits in my perspective how to play games.

  I play a wargame on the internet, and try to be the  neutral guy.

  However in some critical situations I am forced to go into conflict, and in this way I learn what I need to change or how to react. :)

   

  Thank you for the message Ben.

    oh and one other bit to add, this ancient text is quite beautiful and amazing, I recommend to everybody, so very strange how the writing seems to remind me of something familiar, though I guess I just cant quite put my finger on it.
    
    hmmm. . a very revealing little book, I hope some people give it a read, hehe

  Lovely post Ben! Delilah - I loved how you explained it, I agree 110%~  Being neutral has always helped me especially when it comes to religion since we know most get very emotional with this subject! =o P I still have far to go on this amazing journey and so much more to learn as I'm a very young grasshopper! lol

   

  I too feed & donate to homeless! I did this a few times when I was in Hawaii visiting for 2 weeks! I noticed so many people ignoring them when they'd try to talk to them. They are treated like garbage! = (  I'd give them food & a bit of money!  Really surprising how the homeless numbers have grown since I last was in Hawaii back in 1998!  O_o  

   

  Much Neatrality to all! (and LOVE!) <3

  I disagree with this. Firstly, I do not believe that the opposite of love is hate. The opposite of love is fear. Fear is usually the root cause of hatefulness in our world. If one chooses neutrality & it causes one to see fewer conflicts & contentiousness, then it stands to reason that the opposite is true - i.e. one will also see less harmony in the world...................

  this was written by my better half aka "wife" ......I let her her take part in this conversation which I see as very thought provoking and I do respect her opinions as much as I respect others...............

  Me sucking up? lol You got to be kidding me, John Jancar doesn't suck up to anybody lol I was just sharing in a mutual exchange of friendliness and acknowledging similarity, Ben gives to homeless people, like I do. His idea of neutrality was what I had in mind. You be neutral, but at the same time, you still do good work and be of service, being too detached and too neutral isn't ideal. But yea, hahaha very funny Kel! lolol :P
