Array ( [sid] => 16634 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Ying Yang [time] => 2003-04-28 03:35:00 [hometext] => i live by my interpretations of the philosophy in a sense in life its given me strength. [bodytext] => In the evils and benevolence
manifest the my fragile mind's choice.
Between good and malevolent
the cry of my mind loses it voice.

Its voice muted by perception
and in time, I overcome
Society’s bombarding - deception
leaving my mind utterly numb.

One essence follows the light
the other dark.
In my mind's elation, sheer flight
however a pseudo-incubus is marked.

In my conscious perplexity
I became insane.
Thus, I chose to not yield to complexity
My mind's natural course is to stay sane.

Sane and neutral is my objective,
a state of gray.
I am hence not subjective,
at the exposal extremities may.

In a sense, my new genesis
Is to become strong.
Immune to influenced menaces
they are abolished – but not for long.

Weaknesses are driven.
My mind is NOT weak,
and words and actions not misgiven
My interpretations are not bleak.

At my disposal are both extremities
my mind not fragile anymore.
All tumult adheres to new serenity
and the blue in my heart yields to be sore.

And , thus, is learned transdescence
Through it , I, achieve balance in universal moan.
An entirely new essence
Jaded, the look in my eyes turn to stone.

Every lesson has been taught in a craze.
Remnant to the sirens that sang
We find the end to our self-made maze
and learned is the lesson of the yin-yang.

It seems that you do not understand the concept of yin and yang...but I understand. Many people, simply not understanding the philosophy behind it always make that mistake.

Yin and yang are not good and evil, they merely depict contrasting forces in Nature. To obtain a wholesome and healthy environment, there must be a balance or equilibrium between the two forces. In that way, life is possible, because there is Day and Night, Heaven and Earth, Heat and Cold, Light and Darkness, Substance and Space.

Even the human body is a good example. It consists of both moisture and heat, liquid and solid, as well as hollow and substance. By obtaining a balance between the forces of yin and yang, the machinery of the human body actually works.

Taoism tells us, what is evil and malevolent is when one of these forces is in excess of the other-that is, IMBALANCE. When this happens, we have storms, natural disasters, disease and famine. The only thing that is evil is over-excessive behaviour.

if u are out there, i know what the whole concept of yin yang is, that is why i said in my interpretation, i didnt find the definition in TAOISM sufficent for me, or at least to encompass what i was feeling in the instant, i am aware, that in nature there are opposing forces, that is why i presented opposing forces in the poem , in aspect to my life. i do regret calling the poem yin yang, because i had just wrote it, but i wanted to throw the whole concept of opposing forces in there, yin yang is all i could use. i was thinking of calling it paradox, but it is too simple. Thank you for your criticism, i'll be more careful for next time-rob
