I just want to know what everyones thoughts are on fear and love.
They are extreme opposites. I agree that in order for radiant zones to take light they need to be filled with love, peace. However you can't ignore the opposite of it: fear. Without fear, love wouldn't exist.
What are your thoughts on the Taoism concept of the balance of opposite extremes? If a bear attacks a human in the wilderness. there are two things at play: The bears' love for her cubs. therefore, she defends them. She also fears that the human poses a threat. This is the act of balance of both extremes in nature.
lets take a look at this symbol:
Many people think yin and yang are opposites and at war with eachother. That is wrong, i think. Look at the motion of the two opposites harmonizing with eachother. The harmonization of softness and hardness. Water can be soft and both HARD. A person who is strong can also be gentle. A If a weak person is gentle, it is still weakness because he/she lacks the harmony of strength.
