Yin/Yang
The Positive and Negative Pole of a battery. It takes both for the energy to FLOW!

Well the basic philosophy is that everything has an opposite. From Yang being the Sun and Yin being it's opposite the Moon and also representing the male/Yang and female/Yin forces. However the philosophy gets really deep. The Chinese believe that Yin and Yang represent everything in the universe and use it to explain political movements as well as planetary ones. So to that extent I'm not convinced.
All in all, I think it's a beautiful way of explaining the weight of one action against the weight of another.

Yin and Yang is a descriptive balance of the forces that surround us. For every action there is a reaction. There is always an opposite and if you want to live in harmony then you do the best you can to balance them out. You can't enjoy true happiness unless you have experienced loss. Then you carry those feelings with you which is when there is always a dot of the opposite color in each the yin and yang.

Very cool!
It not only lends perspective to the world, but it allows us to use its concepts to alter our world, too!
Examples:
Cooking (Chinese, fusion, etc.)
Martial Arts (Karate/Tae kwon Do vs. Aikido/Kung Fu (some forms).
Motorcycling (I can distinctly feel subtle differences between my two motorcycles and the effect upon my consciousness/disposition when I ride them)
Again, VERY cool!

I think it is another explanation of good versus evil. Trying to balance out the two.

it symbolizes the perfect balance... the light and the dark, the good and the evil. which exists in everything, from the smallest atom to the biggest galaxy that is in the universe...

I think it's a way of explaining the world that makes a lot of sense.

why not review/research materials on taoism, alchemical taoism, esoteric taoism, taoist meditation--"googleable entries", i think. you're on the brink of discovering some very important, perhaps, for you, life changing knowledge. take the opportunity, you will be well rewarded ;-)))
