Introduction

Perhaps the most significant element of life on Earth is Yin and Yang. Without it, so much of life would be different. To say even that much is a severe understatement. Just look at Earth. Earth supports human life more perfectly than any other place that might exist. That is not to say this world is perfect. But the lack of perfection does not take away from the splendor, instead causing all pleasure to be cherished even more so than ever. To have an ending creates value.

The thought of Yin and Yang has long existed. But have people truly examined this theory? The concept of two opposing forces, both complementing and contrasting each other, creating a far more beautiful whole? Can one truly be called evil, and one perceived as good? Is this truly the extent of human imagination? Yin and Yang, light and dark, death and life, night and day, cannot be categorized by basic observations. And yet, these concepts are wholly created by the human mind. To do a good or bad action is not characterized by anything other than another human's view on it. How can such a profound concept merely be something a human mind established?

It seems almost impossible to say either Yin or Yang were simply invented by a human mind. Yet the concept of bad and good is wholly a human concept, nothing more. So how can a mere idea hold so much power among human society? It might be seen as a miracle of the human mind, or perhaps an ancient, primitive concept that can never be removed from human society. But another logical explanation can be these powerful influences in our lives originated from divine means.
