Balance?




Some said there is a steelyard symbolising balance in our daily life. Work is on the right arm of the steelyard; while rest is on the left arm. For healthy, one should keep the steelyard balanced. Try not to work too hard throughout a night. If you do, please take more rest. Compromise is needed although it is reluctantly compensated. More weight should be gained in one side when another one is forced.

(Taylor's zone: Studying VS holiday. I think there are too many holidays for "Taylorian". I wonder is it worth to spend RM7000++ per semester. And, I am not rich what. -_-''' . Besides, we will have a lot of rest when we reach 55. So, there is no necessary for us to be "lazy" so much.)

Talking about the ancient great achieve of Chinese philosophy, Yin & Yang, the image of "Tai Ji" come to our mind. Does anyone really go through or understand the word "Tai Ji"? It means "extreme". White and black colors represent two very different and opposite things or utmost. One white dot is in black side; and one black dot is in opposite white side. Although dots are little in quantity, they become the impurities that are mixed in both sides that supposed to be "perfect" white and black. The entire image tells there is no pure black or pure white, there is no absolute extremism. Or, in meaning, the words "extreme", "perfect" and "pure" should not exist. But, in speaking tones, of course they exist. Primitively, everything in this world exists in harmonic, co-ordinate and co-existing balance, without conflict.

About a white dot in pure black or a black dot in pure white, there is a good example for elaborating the meanings behind (isi tersirat). For example, there is the controversy of lesbian or gay. They are like the dots, inevitably being the small quantity, exist among human beings. There is no right, nor wrong. Just all are in harmony if there is no discrimination and prejudice.
