Everything exists with its opposite in this universe. In ancient Chinese teachings it is called Ying and yang, in Zoroastrianism it is called the battle of good and evil...In dialectical philosophy there is the principle of the unity of opposites...

Like men and women, beauty and ugliness, darkness and light, good and evil, right and wrong...
If one exists, the other exists, if one does not exist, the other does not exist. They are intertwined and cannot be separated.

Light is born out of darkness and vice versa.
The concepts of good and evil, beauty and ugliness, right and wrong are relative, that is, they change according to time and place. The concepts of right and beauty of 20 years ago have already changed. Or today, what is right in one country can be wrong in another. Even the north and south, east and west of our country attribute different meanings to these concepts.
"I have seen everywhere the war and harmony between light and darkness," says GiardonaBruno. The famous Italian philosopher and astronomer.

In 1582, he was handed over to the Inquisition for saying that the earth was a sphere, not a tray, and for his view of an infinite universe. He was told that he would be forgiven by the church if he renounced his ideas and admitted heresy. But despite all the tortures he was subjected to, he did not compromise his views and was sentenced to death.
"You are too afraid of me when you pronounce my death," he said to the judge who informed Bruno of the death sentence. He was burned alive in the Great Square in Rome.

About 20 years after Bruno, Galileo, the founder of modern physics and telescopic astronomy, was also tried by the Inquisition for his theory of a heliocentric universe, claiming that the earth revolved around the sun (contradicting the biblical Joshua in the minds of the church). His theories were banned by the Church.
Just as he was about to be executed, he saved himself from the gallows by saying "I have not seen, I have not heard and I do not know".

However, like Bruno, he was excommunicated by the church and sentenced to a lifetime of house arrest. His scientific work was banned. He became blind under house arrest and lived for about 20 more years. In his book "Kings and Jesters" Erol Anar has analyzed this duo from his own perspective in terms of cowardice and courage, righteousness and falsity in a way that inspired me, maybe you would like to examine it. It is a sad story that has affected me for many years. Bruno has always been my hero.

Pope John Paul II apologized to Bruno and Galileo in 1978 and lifted the excommunication on them...
It's as simple as that...

"Behind the chaos and multiplicity of individual beings and changes and contrasts that are visible to the eye," says Thales, "there is a permanent and continuous reality that can be understood by reason. According to the laws of this divine reality, we are beings beyond the good and evil we harbor within us with our existence. Even if we don't face it, even if we don't accept it, we exist with all the opposites in our essence. A little love
A little bit of tolerance
We exist as much as we tolerate!
