Intricasies of yin yang balance

No 64 of Living Life Series 1



Yin yang balance includes (1) balancing cooperation and discord by veering towards complementary approach and rejoicing in one another's efforts (2) neither expecting perfect 10 nor a low 0 in oneself or others (3) neither rejection of nor blind acceptance in oneself or others.


In short, we should neither see the god in man nor the beast in man but only the man in man. This is relevant in today's and tomorrow's world and will facilitate peace in all aspects of life --- our life, my life and yours.


Do not forget to compliment and to complement. To err is human and to tolerate and to be at peace is divine. The reality is that there will always be the minus points and the plus points. But often, we see only the dark side and not the better side of situations. This is our folly because we as humans always have excuses and tend to blame and point fingers. This however presents wondrous opportunities for man to learn from his own life and the lives of other men in the very rich gospel of life.


Do remember that on one hand even the best amongst men are learning and obviously will fall short of the glory of God and saints. At the other extreme, even the ants and insects amongst men, the so-called unredeemable are worthy to be enlightened for the kingdom of God and saints. This again is evidence of yin and yang interplay in that both types of men are neither denied nor favored to enter the kingdom of God and the pure ones.
