Without death, there is no life. Without life, there is no death. I remember when I read the Tao Te Ching many years ago that Lao Tzu talked about how most people were either afraid of death or afraid of life. And only a minority of people were wise enough to simply enjoy the dance of existence, with no fear of living or dying.
Yan and yang is like breathing in and out, you need them both to live, can’t have one without the other
Yin & Yang is a symbol demonstrating that nothing in nature is absolute or pure. In general, when it is applied to human behaviour, Yin & Yang can be interpreted as " NO human can be 100% BAD or to be 100% GOOD " in every black-hearted person you can find a spot of shinning goodness and vice versa. Indeed a very powerful & meaningful symbol.
You know that moment when you are deeply sad for what appears no good reason? I heard once that you are mourning the death of a stranger that had no one to mourn them. Balance and flow are beautiful and life is both comedy and tragedy.
Lol I’m single so other people can be in a relationship. I never thought of it that way.
To put it in a nutshell. YinYang means, one cannot exist without the other.
In the yogic culture, here in India, we call this as Shiva and Shakti. And it is mostly the same concept. Amazed at how all the philosophies of the world converge on a lot of points. Ardhanarishwar, which is the form of shiva - half man and half woman, depicts this concept of yin and yang.
The ying and yang is basically like how a celebrity needs fans to get big and us fans being small makes them big
I must have watched this video a hundred times now; it's one I always come back to and must have shared it to about 20 people. Thanks for such wonderful content
The ignorance of Yin and Yang is that they are opposed. When one sees that Yin and Yang are complimentary, this is the first level of understanding. When one sees that Yin and Yang are identical, this is what is known as one who has ascended past the first level of understanding and reached the edge of reality. To see that Yin and Yang are interchangeable is to go even further beyond. At any time, White can become Black, Black can become White, hope can become despair and despair can become hope. Just as if you travel far enough east you arrive in the west. Jiren can become Goku. Goku can become Jiren. At any time...

I’m ugly , so you average , and good looking guys out there should be grateful for my existence. Lol
I remember this one episode of Doraemon where Nobita cried and exclaimed that he was the bottom of the class so no one would have to as he tried to validate why he didn't study and got zeros. It stuck with me as I went to become one of the bottoms of the class through out secondary school. It was a long and very negative period of my life, but I worked to get out of the situation and once I got into highschoop I found myself ever only wishing for a peaceful life, no need to be the best or special but simply focus on being the best I can. Rankings no longer matter to me, and as I only work on myself I found I was slowly moving forward. I've always been grateful I hit the first rock bottom of my life as of yet then, because since then I knew to appeciate life more as living normally, average still feels like a dream come true for me compared to those dark days.
Suffering isn't so bad when u know it's just a counter weight to happiness
Understanding Yin and Yang helps me accept life as it is. I can be very idealist about how things should, but that makes me malcontent. To know there could be no up without down inspires gratitude in me.
"Many problems solve by themselves" ... ACTION which is masculine and PASSIVENESS which is feminine both are necessary for the BALANCE.... Beautiful explained, thanks for sharing
This video has good passages, yet others are misinterpretations. Western culture has focused on the binary aspect of ying and yang, whereas the real importance of it lies in the balance and the reciprocity. You shouldn't think you're good cause there's a drug dealer around the corner who's bad, but rather think that both you and the dealer nest goodness and badness, and is depending on your actions and on the circumstances that those characteristics manifests themselves.
This shit is so deep, all the greatest stories have this kind of theme too
The Yin and Yang symbol can help you recognize if you see things in unity or in separation. If you see Yin and Yang as 2 halves, then you do not see the connection between them and will view the world as separated and against itself. If you see Yin and Yang as a circle with 2 parts, then you can see there is unity in everything, even those you call good and bad. Thus the philosophy of life is "I am separate from the world, and the world is for or against me" or "I am the world and it nurtures me through experiencing both preference (good) and non-preference (bad)". The inner circle within one half represents that even in the half, there is unity that can break down to parts. So the "good" half can be broken down into other parts that represent the "good". It doesn't just mean that there is the opposite side within this side. It is an infinite traversal within the self, where the self is the circle and within the half, is another circle which represent the same Yin/Yang circle that contains it.
