The world today seems to be dealing mainly with opposites. "It's either you are with us or you are with them" attitude. Politics is all about pro and anti government, the government and the opposition, democrats and republicans, conservatives and labour. It is disturbing to see nations divided, at war - Thailand and Sri Lanka have become the Ireland of Asia. Bangkok has become The Tale of Two Cities - Abhisit and Taksin supporters, yellow and red shirts. Afghanistan is pro government or the Taliban. Iraq is Shite and non Shites.
All seem to have forgotten that we are all brothers and sisters. But then of course, even brothers and sisters fued. Even from the early days, in the times of Adam and Eve, Cane was jealous of and killed Abel.
However, it is hoped that in a Yin and Yang situation (the Tao), all becomes One - no more opposites but rather day becoming night and night becoming day.
