The whole thing is about balance, dark & light.

All creation must be kept in balance, its is not desirable if evil triumphs, nor is is all that good, if the other side gets the upper hand.

For example, my mate, the Sergeant at Arms, is also one of the most caring fathers I know, and he helps little old ladies across the street.

remind me of the Taoism, about balance of force of nature.

Yes Jaga, all the People of the Book seem to have this combative nature, this idea of one natural element in perpetual conflict with another.

Other peoples seem to have adopted a more, let us say, conciliatory philosophy where one natural element is the reverse face of another, and the balance achieved by both in opposition results in a central harmony that permits continued existence.

On the other hand, perpetual conflict can only result in continued destruction.
