I know a Sanskrit prayer that I learned at school, it translates to
That is perfect
This is perfect
Perfect comes from perfect
Take perfect from perfect and the remainder is perfect
May peace and peace and peace be everywhere
Unlike numbers that are liable to be divided, Hinduism says perfection is not lessened and doesn't somehow decrease when it is divided. I started to think of humans as a prime example, endowed with a full gamut of emotions, thoughts and behaviours and capable of producing another human endowed with a full gamut of emotions, thoughts and behaviours.
I can't think of any thing or entity other than life itself that is not diminished by extraction or duplication. Even the proliferation of cancer cells is the blossoming of perfection in their infinite capacity to reproduce perfectly functioning disease cells.
Energy isn't lost or created. It just rotates around the universe weaving in and out of living things like a big tapestry.
