Re: Universe as a reflection of Yin and Yang
I like the philosophy presented in the Yin/Yang symbol, but I thought that the official meaning did not place a value judgment on either yin or yang. Here you present Yang as better, which is what I agree with. To me, the whole thing symbolizes the fact that nothing on earth is perfect.

Re: Universe as a reflection of Yin and Yang
Interesting thoughts, Ezias. Have you ever considered what might make a person more prone to one than to the other?
In nature animals perpetuate their particular species. They have no alternative, living by instincts. Humans on the other hand evolve and elevate their species. Some more-so than others.
Might that be due to humans' individual natures, and their personal nurturing experienced at, and in, the hands of their dominant nurturers? Some of whom might be more Yiners than Yangers?
What, and how, genetic blessings or cursings blend or clash in the nurturing environment luck births humans into, are determining factors that can encourage or discourage Yin or Yang to the betterment or detriment of individual and societal advancement. Could you agree?
Regards, Roger
