How can we see good if there is no bad?

I have read and heard that god created the devil, and everytime I come across someone saying this I laugh and say to myself, god created the devil and then he fights it. So why did god create the devil? Well, I think god wanted to prove that he was god so he created the devil. Forget god, I don't know if he/she exists, but what does this tell. This tells us that what Einstein said, Relativity. We realise something only when we have seen its opposite.

What if every person in this world was good. Then, People will not know what's bad. So, will they realise that they are good or will they realise what's good. I dont think so.

Suppose if we humans have the capability to see things around us no matter how dark it is, what if there is no difference to us between day and night. What will happen? We will not realise the sun, we will not know what light is. Why because, we dont know what darkness is.

I believe that we would not have realised good if there was no bad around. Only when we compare relatively to a bad person, we realise the good within us or in someone else. Only when we see suffering, we realise the happiness in our lives.

mind matters--language






We all have thoughts and we all think in a language, we need words to think, because thinking is like ur mind speaking to you or you speaking to ur mind....thus you normally use the language you speak to think.

Now if we need a language to think, how it would have been before humans invented language....How would Our ancestors have got the idea of language without thinking(If thinking was possible only through a medium of language)....

Now how would my thinking be when I used one language to speak and another language to think and write....I firmly believe that there would be difference between using two languages to think and one to think....
Because thinking needs facts or data about anything that we are thinking and at that moment, and we get those data from what we have learnt since childhood by listening to others or reading books.............

now i use one language(my mother tongue) at home and with friends from my childhood but i use another language(English) at school with teachers and while studying............
i can feel the difference...........
i think in different languages or use both languages at a time while thinking about different things........say if i have to think about what movie i go tomorrow
or what i in the afternoon(i.e think about day today activities) i use my mother tongue
........but if i'm thinking about what i studies in my book ,some chapter then i use english......
what will be its effect on my thinking............
