Story-A-Day #216: Yin and Yang





YIN AND YANG

Life is all about balance. We need to understand both sides in order to process the right from the wrong.

The concept of Yin and Yang illustrates that within all white or good, there is some black or bad, and that within all black or bad, there is some white or good.

It is such a simplistic and fundamental perspective that it would lead one to wonder how it could not be common sense.

In order to be a good person you require a knowledge of what makes a person bad. In order to comprehend darkness, you must know what it is like to be bathed in light.

Balance is the key. We must be able to balance work and play. We must balance responsibility and carefree living.

We must develop a full comprehension of what makes us weak and underdeveloped in order to become strong and grow.

You can see it everywhere, the simple balance between what is right and what is wrong, the difference between good and bad, light and dark, honest and deceitful.

Take a moment to look around and you will see that balance everywhere, that fusion of opposite elements. Look for the light in the shadows and the gloom in the gleam of all that is bright.

That is the Path to understanding.
