Within the context of the reality of dualities in everyday life, this chapter
wisely points out the relative nature of life and that we can discover greater
meaning through comparisons. It then lifts this chapter's contents into the
realm of the divine by presenting the Son of God, who alone can achieve
perfection in an imperfect world.

Truth, beauty, and goodness are God's eternal attributes – wherever they
are present, God is there. In dealing with dualities, this chapter touches on
the paradoxical language of the parables used by Jesus to speak of the
mysteries of the kingdom of God.
