Yin & Yang

Here's a thought;

Have you ever wondered about all that's pristine white in you? Are we sure that's the pure and untouched part of our souls?Could those lighter hues not be what lays the foundation of all our bad traits...

A shade of white named talent could very well turn levels of our ego high.

A shade of white named compassion could very well curdle and turn into selfish, possessive love..

And the shades of selflessness could fade into oblivion and we could be left with nothing but the bitter taste of revenge and hatred.

The question is, aren't these devious shades of white a part of us too?

Are we ready to accept it for what it truly represents?

Would we still feel the same about us once we realise what these whites hide under its mask?

In short, are we ready to accept the wrongs and  that are hidden behind the white curtain of goodness?

Now let's turn the coin and look at the other side.

Have you ever wondered, even once, whether the darkness in you could be the only good thing in you?

What if it were those black scars on you  that joined together to form a web of good in you? Could it be that the blacks were the actual whites in you?

Are you still afraid to know yourself?

Are you still scared to look deep within the shell that is you?

Will you be able to accept this side of you when you meet it face on ?

I am sure most of us have faced these questions at different moment in our lives. I myself have always pondered upon these ideas long and hard. Not only did i think through, i also lived these thoughts and put my ideas in action to see how much it worked. Having dwelled upon these questions for a very long time I came to these conclusions.

I am my Yin and I am my Yang.

From my darkness I sought and found light.

In my good I met my bad.

If I stop to think about it, I cannot exist without the other, nor can you.

It's rare for a person to accept the good as well as the bad in themselves. More often than not, it's easier for us to accept our shortcomings than trust the goodness in us, and those rare times when we do believe in the goodness in us, we forget about the darkness that underlies it. It was through darkness that I found light and it was then that I sat down to introspect a little. What I found is simple fact that without my darkness, the light in me couldn't exist. If I have a good side, then it has a twin sister, my bad side. I realised i could not let the war rage on and on. i had to let these sides meet mid way. with this thought came the realisation that when we finally are able to accept the duality of energies in us, we are finally at peace with ourselves.
