A Yin/Yang Perception of Opposites

Tao Te Ching -:- Verse 2

====================================

When people see things as beautiful,

ugliness is created.

When people see things as good,

evil is created.

 

Being and non-being produce each other.

Difficult and easy complement each other.

Long and short define each other.

High and low oppose each other.

Fore and aft follow each other.

====================================

 

In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang (also, yin-yang or yin yang) describes how apparently opposite or contrary forces are actually complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. Many tangible dualities (such as light and dark, fire and water, and male and female) are thought of as physical manifestations of the duality of yin and yang. This duality lies at the origins of many branches of classical Chinese science and philosophy, as well as being a primary guideline of traditional Chinese medicine, and a central principle of different forms of Chinese martial arts and exercise, such as baguazhang, taijiquan (t'ai chi), and qigong (Chi Kung), as well as in the pages of the I Ching written in 1,000 BC and before.

 

Yin and yang can be thought of as complementary (rather than opposing) forces that interact to form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the assembled parts. Everything has both yin and yang aspects, (for instance shadow cannot exist without light). Either of the two major aspects may manifest more strongly in a particular object, depending on the criterion of the observation. The yin yang shows a balance between two opposites with a little bit in each.

 

In Daoist metaphysics, distinctions between good and bad, along with other dichotomous moral judgments, are perceptual, not real; so, the duality of yin and yang is an indivisible whole. In the ethics of Confucianism on the other hand, most notably in the philosophy of Dong Zhongshu (c. 2nd century BC), a moral dimension is attached to the idea of yin and yang.

By measuring starlight - specifically, the color and brightness - astronomers have determined that our Milky Way has about 100 billion stars in its system. Using the Milky Way as a model, astronomers have multiplied the number of stars in a typical galaxy (100 billion) by the number of galaxies in the known universe (2 trillion). The result is an absolutely astounding number of approximately 200 billion trillion stars in our known universe. Given that the earth’s star (the sun) has eight planets revolving around it, one of which has humans on it. Is it reasonable to believe that human beings here on the planet earth are the only beings in existence?
