It's Only A Paper Rose

This is true, and a concept I've thought about to some extent on my own. The thing is, there's never been any such thing as a perfectly balanced universe - if there were, it'd be in stasis, rather than continually evolving like it is. You look at any two opposing concepts - abstract vs. concrete, order vs. chaos, construction vs. destruction - over the course of human history, and it's obvious that things move cyclically. Sometimes the one is dominant, sometimes the other. So I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with doing our best to promote the ones we prefer. :)
