Chapter 6: Yin and Yang (4)

The Shadow is a curious idea. I suppose I'm a curious enough being that it doesn't matter.
But, basically, it comes down to this: to be neither light nor dark, to act outside the balance but maintain the balance's order, all leads to the same idea. I am my own master. I am my own fate.
This may sound suspiciously like "choice," but it's not. Choice is blind and ignorant. To freely choose one thing or another, you must have no knowledge of what the consequences will be.
Humanity was given the gift of choice. This is balance. It was given with intent, but it must be used in ignorance.
It's a shame that humans don't realize where it came from.
Angels have no souls, you know.
They are perfect beings, the divine embodiment of light and those who carry out the will of God, but they have no souls.
This is balance, because God's soul is overwhelming in its capacity. Of course, his angels have none. The rich and the poor. To be and to be without.
Lucifer was an angel who loved God with all of his heart. He was cast out of heaven. He was the only angel with a soul, and he poured it into his own creations. Demons have souls, you see. Every demon has a piece of what made Lucifer God's favorite angel. Ironic, but then the balance usually is.
Lucifer no longer has a soul, you see. He used it all up.
The Yin and the Yang, the same, but so very different. The perfect pair of opposites- black and white.
This is balance. This is order and chaos combined.
Simply put - this is.
But have you ever asked if either of them is happy?
No?
Didn't think so.
