Cosmic order and justice - An in depth look

A definition of cosmic order can be reasoned. If there is order in the universe and order equals justice (because how can order equal injustice?), then things are just when they are orderly. Therefore, injustice can be defined as disorder. This makes sense in a human capacity because disorder often leads to violence, which is easily reasoned as unjust. However, the realities of the human condition make the idea of cosmic order a tough one to reason through. Everything in the universe is subject to the laws of science and cosmic order, if we're analyzing cosmic order as reality (analyzing it as fantasy is a useless exercise.) Humans, being part of scientific reality, are thus part of and subject to, cosmic order. The next thought step reasons that, if cosmic order, being universal, achieves order through scientific reality in most cases independent of the human experience (such as planets, stars, etc)m then we must conclude that everything happens for a logical reason as it is illogical to believe that scientific reality is illogical. If there is cosmic order and if cosmic order equals cosmic justice, then everything happens as it should happen. The chink in the armor of this idea is the violent, often unspeakable evils that happen in society, be they mass genocides or serial murders or babies dying of disease. How can everything happen for a reason, how can things work out as they should, when there are so many tragedies in the world? Does violently murdered baby "deserve" it's death? Do historical genocides happen because they need to happen? An argument for cosmic order, meaning the idea that everything, in the end, has a logical, understandable "bottom line" is contradictory to ideas of human compassion and decency. There can be no sense of justice and order in what is humanely indefensible. There can be no sense in the non-sensible. The pain of human reality is the variable factor. Pain is usually horrible and order and justice, being harmonious concepts, cannot be synonymous with pain unless it's literally "no pain, no gain," the idea that pain is a process towards harmony and happiness. Pain then is just a step in the evolutionary ladder on the way to peace. So what about the pain of human tragedy? The only humane thought process here is faith based. If cosmic order is to be believed, we can only have faith that violence and horror somehow make sense, even if we can't reason that it does. Such faith is only meant for the inner thought process or in blogs like this one because, to debate it in society, especially in our current politically correct climate, is unrealistic. If we try to argue that babies being raped and killed make some sort of sense, we'd be socially condemned and such condemnation isn't harmonious, unless we see such debate as being pain inducing, the kind of pain that leads to peace. In that way, political correctness is a de-evolved concept because debate, one of the major processes of human development, is severely limited. Logical humans wouldn't risk becoming social outcasts because that directly affects the human need for survival. Social condemnation lead to isolation which leads to death. If we're isolated, we can't have the human contact we need, we won't have a job and no means to support ourselves. If we're to believe in cosmic order and justice, we must have the courage to press on with our thoughts and our debates, even in the face of social condemnation or we will grow weak and fallow as thinkers.

"Dragons" represent male sexuality

As a symbol throughout history, the dragon represents male sexuality and, specifically, the religious idea that male sexuality is something evil to be overcome. The dragon's "wings" are the man's testicles, the neck is the penis and the "fire" associated with dragons is semen. Because the dragon represents a negative view of a man's sexuality, the fire, the semen, is viewed as damaging, destructive and deadly, something to be avoided (ejaculation) as religious views in the past condemned the lustful nature of sexuality.
