YinvsYang

This is a place where there is no right and wrong. There is only what is. We do not judge. We do not hate. We simply understand. Welcome to our site.

The basis of this site is based on an ancient philosophy that simplifies the complexities of life: The Yin & the Yang. In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang are generalized descriptions of the antitheses or mutual correlations in human perceptions of phenomena in the natural world, combining to create a unity of opposites in the theory of the Taiji. The term liang yi, “two mutually correlated opposites”, also known as Yin and Yang or heaven and earth, has a similar meaning:

….The dual concepts of yin and yang (or heaven and earth) describe two primal opposing but complementary principles or cosmic forces said to be found in all non-static objects and processes in the universe. This seemingly paradoxical concept is the cornerstone of most branches of Chinese philosophy, as well as traditional Chinese medicine.

A simple way to put it: In good there is always a little bit of evil, in evil there is always a little bit of good – everything has two aspects.

Read this excerpt from http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/CHPHIL/YINYANG.HTM:“The yin and yang represent all the opposite principles one finds in the universe. Under yang are the principles of maleness, the sun, creation, heat, light, Heaven, dominance, and so on, and under yin are the principles of femaleness, the moon, completion, cold, darkness, material forms, submission, and so on. Each of these opposites produce the other: Heaven creates the ideas of things under yang, the earth produces their material forms under yin, and vice versa; creation occurs under the principle of yang, the completion of the created thing occurs under yin, and vice versa, and so on.This production of yin from yang and yang from yin occurs cyclically and constantly, so that no one principle continually dominates the other or determines the other.

All opposites that one experiences—health and sickness, wealth and poverty, power and submission—can be explained in reference to the temporary dominance of one principle over the other. Since no one principle dominates eternally, that means that all conditions are subject to change into their opposites.”

Everything has its opposite. Everything is related. In order to achieve success, you must taste failure. In order to win, you must know what it means to lose. And all of that is okay. It is okay to lose. It is okay to fail. Once you accept this simple thought process, it will have an enormous effect on your daily life. Let that new positive energy infiltrate your spirit.

Thank you for reading and have a wonderful day.
