the right side represents love – by nature we love, love
the left side represents fear – by nature when there is something dangerous we fear it
however fear as the famous Kabbalist Yoda said is the path of the dark side
for fear leads to jealousy
it goes like this
if I have security then as it is my nature to love hence I love and as love is a positive emotion I feel good
now as one of the most important (though self evident) statements of Kabbalah “to good there is nothing higher than pleasure (feeling good) and to bad nothing worse than pain.”
So when I feel good I am in the open state – this is why people, say Americans who have security are often very kind and naive.
However conversely if I feel bad, for fear is a negative emotion – there are a host of biological changes which literally tear the body apart (it produces adrenaline which gets us into anxiety mode, is the cause for PTSD and in fact based on the most comprehensive study (a 500,000,000 European studym the cause of every mental ailment and according to the studies linking the mental and the physicalm probably the cause of physical ailments.)
But in simple words because we get jealous (for we assume we are no less entitled then another) when we are in the state of fear we become a bully (this is why bullies are cowards – for in truth they are fearful, which is a. why (obama being a good example) they have a false “polished” exteriors (as someone shamed them and it is their fear of future shame that causes them to pretend to be a perfect hence unshamble person) b. as they are jealous and as the mind is the slave of the emotional desires, and as jealousy causes hate and as hate is the desire to destroy, the mind comes up with logical proofs why the other, in hitler’s case Jews, in radical Islam all “others,” should be.)
I don’t want to be coarse but this point which may seem so psychologically difficult is actually empirically seen in every home, for why is it once a month a woman usually despises her husband? – the equation pain = jealousy = rational proofs of the others evil.
so succinctly what we must be aware that ironically both the right and left side left unchecked are in truth emotional, and as they are, just as one day I can be loving, the next day jealous, hence do things in a million years I would never think I could (in fact interviewing exiled dictators who murdered tens of thousands of people, though they could see how other dictators were evil, they simply didn’t see how they were.)
in simple words emotions cause us to become retarded
only by accepting that as we get emotional hence we are permanently prone to retardation will we overcome our infinite handicap
