Dual Aspect Concept

Having read the title, you’re probably thinking of the dual aspect concept in accounting. That’s nice……..but its wrong!

For those who don’t know, the dual aspect concept merely ensures that all accounting entries have both a credit and a debit component. This, in turn, ensures that books of accounts always balance, if every entry was made correctly.

Apart from the above, I know practically nothing else about accounting. But I digress.

The duality of this concept is what interests me. This is not just because learning new things is cool but because it gets me thinking…..

Why is the general concept of duality so common, especially in nature? Just think about it. We have two eyes, two ears, two feet, two nostrils……it goes on… binary digits, left and right, even the concept of a word’s opposite( e’g Up Vs Down) is dual in nature. Why is this so, why all the duality? Is someone (or something) trying to tell us something?

Personnally, I think that we should actively strive to achieve perfect balance in our lives by seeking out duality. For example, the easiest way to do this may be seeking out a life partner. Its only natural.

We were not created to live by ourselves. To be happy, you need someone else in your life. Nature seems to exhibit duality more often than not, and so this must be her way of showing us the way forward, right?

But then again it might just be a perfectly pre-concieved plot to veil our eyes and minds from the truth; the true way forward. But what truth? Isn’t it rather difficult to think of the world without its dual aspect? Try it.

Truth is, none of us knows any way forward. All we can do is follow hints from abstract things( like nature, instinct etc) and hope that they point towards somewhere.

  1. woo… i like those thoughts… actually yeah i was looking for boring accountind staff but i think that your thinking made me think and light up little iterest in and understanding of the dual aspect concept in accounting.. thank you.

  2. To tell you the truth, it's the first time I am reading your blog… I was well, simply looking for some accounting related information, but your blog title captivated me… "For God, For Country and For Humanity"… A true believer, patriot, and humanist 🙂

    Very well, keep it up!

    Nice thoughts, words, and mode of expression. You display your beliefs* in gender equality, and equality between the dark and white sides of life… What is more is their importance in maintaining the "balance". Besides, Mother Nature offers harmony side by side with balance.

    The liver…
    If I can point it out thus, the liver is the world, and the two main vessels (hepatic artery and portal vein) are the two main and only genders, male and female. If not because of these two main vessels, your liver would be of no use. If not because of these two genders, the world would not function…

    (My humble view: I think the spelling is belief* and one more, conceived*, do not mind it, I thought it right to point out.)

    Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
    Hope you can change the world… Hope more people can help you…
