Everybody's right

Okay, here's my little concept (which surely has been somewhere before but I personally haven't come across it) of world peace.

(I know it's no beauty pageant.)

Everybody is right.

I guess usually one imagines a spectrum of 'good' and 'evil' and whether the two now exist in each extremity I won't discuss but let's assume the following:

There is a spectrum between good and evil that is more or less definable as a straight line.

As you know, in many system, as you move one level up, things look differently, sometimes one actually gains a new dimension (so to say) and you can see what wasn't visible before.
This is somewhat like the concept that space can be bent through fluctuations and wormholes and, if you will, the power of the mind itself.

If we apply the same to the concept of good and evil we can turn it into a circle. That would imply that good and bad are the same (oh oh) and even though that may be so, I will for the purpose of illustration make it a ring with a gap. Good and evil as extremes locate themselves around that gap while 'balance' is furthest away from it.

Now all kinds of people search for 'truth' or 'the essence of it all' or 'ascension' or enlightenment, so let's just imagine that as a stream of erm... something that is a visible as a flow from our now higher vantage point.
In that sense, I'm thinking everybody could be right! Here's why:

Obviously this is a rather cheap trick in some sense but I thought it's worthy of discussion now that the tides are low on this forum.

To me this idea came because of the constant tension between 'being good' and 'being balanced' which, admittedly, in another system might not even be on the same line... if you can't agree with this system here, tell me and I'll draw up the other system.
Oh how I just try to make everybody happy.
