Hello Khaled.
Good Questions indeed, and it is not an easy thing to answer. But the main
thing is that in the centre of it all is MAN (boy, language is really
patriarchal isn't it?) and not God or Dynamic Quality. Because the way some
use DQ here one could just as easily exchange it with God and say that some
things have to be sacrificed for the sake of God or DQ. This kind of talk
is of the Lowest Quality to me. A question of weather some things have to be
sacrificed in order for mankind to work towards a Higher Quality existence
is a question rightly asked in my opinion. As for the answer I don't know,
but I do believe balance is the key.
