Aha!!!

On Sunday I found binary opposites that exist outside of Theory class. I was in church and during one of the prayers we were praying for the poor and wealthy, men and women etc. I had an Aha! moment when I realized they were binary opposites. So I was super excited I had found my blog topic for the week. The only thing with these binary opposites is that some of them were opposite to how society had them classified. For example, society would say the binary opposite was wealthy/poor people. The center of this being wealthy. However, in the Church the two words are switched and it becomes poor/wealthy. Therefore, the Church believes that for this binary opposite the poor people are at the center. I am not really sure why this is.
I assume it is because the Church is supposed to be a more loving, caring community. Therefore poor people are not viewed as a nuisance, but as people. Jesus also didn’t judge people based on wealth. Maybe this is why the poor side of the binary opposite is the center.
I’m not really sure what I am trying to get at here but I know three things: every institution in society has binary opposites, depending on what the institution is depends on what side is the center and I was able to relate the class to the OUTSIDE WORLD. (I’m very excited about this).
As a side note the sermon for that day was partly on interpretation, honestly it felt kind of like Theory classJ:)
