But Miyazaki has an idea of good and evil; he does not at all think they are equals. He says he does, but he does not believe it; because he pledges himself to "balance" between the twain. But then, he is saying there is a proper path; and by definition then, he believes only in a higher arbitration, a higher road or dao or path of good. He says death and life are both part of humanity; but he exhorts us to strive, to live, and to love. He does not put death and life and say he cares not which. If they are equal, then yet, he wishes us to fight to live harmoniously. This is not really hypocrisy. He just overreacts justly against the evil that comes from the opposite extreme. But he is still wrong. A real evil is Evil. A real good is Good. And he agrees more than half to this idea, though he doesn't seem to notice.
He is much too poetic to be entirely wrong, and much too wise to be a spineless pessimist. And he is entirely too much in a faery world of imagination to be unlike people like Tolkien. Tolkien does believe in the Good. They both explicitly believe in Hero. It's entirely eerie, that two people so separated by time and tradition would at times sound so similar (what he says about storytelling in Starting Point sounds nearly word-for-word like Tolkien's Essay "On Fairy-Stories"; and his spiel on Chihiro in Turning Point sounds just like the Hobbits in LOTR. No joking.)
Ah well, enough "Trolling" on my part. But please reconsider this Manichean dualism, Mr. Miyazaki. It don't make real sense, eventually one figures out one is really NOT believing in the equality of two sides, but in Heros.
I'm either using the wrong sort of paper for this kind of work, or I'm ultimately adding too much water to the paper.
p.s. you did a really wonderful job with this!!!
