no i don't agree there khaled, even though it may seem
to be a truism.
this is a limited view.

nature is not playing favourites as 'favourites'
implies separate, comparable entities. these don't
strictly exist. 

from a reflective, ie reasoning, perspective separate
entities do exist. some seem to have been given a
harder time than others. this isn't playing favourites
though. nature's caprice is not whimsical, it is logic
of evolution: co-operative, creative evolution.

who is happier - the gorgeous, rich, neurotic
hollywood starlet, or the guy down the street who
thinks he hears god through the transistor radio
pinned to his ear? 

all must pass through trials to evolve; the nature of
the trials differs just as each persons unique
astrological signature differs: different trials for
different astrological (or if you like - genetic)make
-ups.

we are all one. self-consciousness allows us to
abstract ourselves from this one. we can then relate
ourselves to the whole.. this is the higher purpose of

intellect, reason being the lower. reason is
descriptive, after the fact. intuitive intellection is
to see through and to see as a whole...erm what's that
called? - a gestalt perhaps?

anyway i get off track. to recapitulate: the universal
principle is the mirroring of the mythic and
conscious; the dreaming and the waking reality; the
potential and actual; the inner and outer; as above so
below....

jung is very good on this sort of stuff.

you can't separate the observer from what is observed:
kinda imporatnt to remember that i reckon.
