Imagine what the next one will be like, Aus vs NZ!! Still, it was a weird game, since SA had control of the ball about 95% of the time! Now how taoist is this??? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722735165669239585.post-68620626826998783382011-10-13T10:34:03.024+11:002011-10-13T10:34:03.024+11:00Thanks, Julie.

Now THAT'S relativity!<br /><br />Comparisons, in a lot of cases, are indeed odious. Unless, of course, you have absolute knowledge, and there's not too many around with that!<br /><br />ps as to that Rugby match, I have South African friends who were furious with the umpires, yet I didn't see most of the things they complained about! This has nothing to do with right or wrong, just the world of relativity we live in. (I won't try saying that to my SA friends though.... It's amazing what you'll forgive if you finally come out on top, and what you won't if you believe you've been robbed.)Denis Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786035137418348609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722735165669239585.post-76559276750475334422011-10-13T09:07:29.940+11:002011-10-13T09:07:29.940+11:00Relativity: so we compare ourselves with others to...Relativity: so we compare ourselves with others to understand who we are and lose that whole beautiful unique world -the truth of the moment.<br /><br />JulieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722735165669239585.post-75908004451284823092011-10-13T09:04:10.757+11:002011-10-13T09:04:10.757+11:00It is so soothing to read those words about harmon...It is so soothing to read those words about harmony ,and the natural cycles of birth, growth and decay. Often with me it is all or nothing. I think too that in our society the dichotomy, not the both/and of yin/yang, is emphasised. This is typified by the naming of events or people as 'evil, or as heroes if they score a try in the footie. (Yes I did watch the Wallabies and Springboks match and was hyper excited1!) I'm so glad you are posting this.<br /><br />Julie xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
