I agree with Dave, here. The idea that an individual should maintain a personal balance between Light and Dark seems to be a more recent phenomenon (and the shift to this philospohy seems to have been introduced or influenced by the Lunars)

But don't forget about the "Socialist Heresy", though...who "believed that when society as a whole becomes unbalanced in some way then man should become unbalanced in the opposite way, to balance it out; as if Balance were a scale and men were ingots to be weighed....The Socialists were crushed by the Black Shahs a hundred winters before the Moon rose into the sky, but their dangerous heresy continues underground even today. "

I would be very surprised if this heresy was eradicated, however. Henry J. Soulatzkoff, B. Ed.
