Do you notice the balance of two opposite things in every aspect of life? Can you sense the power produced by two opposite things in your daily experiences?
The reality of life always calls for more understanding from us rational beings. When we were still young, our observation of reality may be different compared to what we have observed now. As educators often said, “Learning is a continuous process”. We practically observe to relate and suit ourselves in our environment. Why? It is because we want to live with power towards success that we are dreaming of.
The wisdom of creation has spoken the ways of nature that leads to natural successes such as the plants that grow, the water that flows, the birds that fly, and everything that depicts the idea of staying alive and of existing well.
The instincts of animals reveal a natural view of successful existence. The genetic tendencies of plants show a perspective of successful existence. The existence of non-living things around indirectly points out success of presence on earth and to all parts of the universe.
The wisdom of ancient Chinese has integrated these concepts in a Chinese symbol – the Yinyang. It was and is the guiding symbol of Chinese activities especially in the martial art of Chinese origin, which is often called “Kung-fu”. The physical power is heighten in their opposite movements in whatever preferred fighting style.
In the Christian philosophy of life, the golden rule has been thriving: “Do unto others as you would like others do unto you”. Is it not revealing a balance of giving and receiving? Yes, it is. It is also stated, “Give and you will receive”.
Every success is the balance of two opposite things which are basically good as naturally shown in the following:
Man and woman
Night and Day
Force Downward and Force Upward
Force Leftward and Force Rightward
Opposite Diagonal Forces
Opposite Curved Movements
Positive and Negative Charges in Electricity
Transactions in Life
There is only one opposite things which are not included in the balance for life’s success, that is, good and evil.
Including these two opposite things, usually in terms of spirituality and morality, are a misconception and a misleading presentation of the intricacies of life. This wrong idea is the result of the general use of the word “positive” which usually implies goodness and “negative” that can be applied to the idea of evil. Thus, it is only because of the wrong understanding of the two words.
