Prediction Time!
What does
this symbol
represent?
 Though this concept is basic to Confucianism (as well as
Taoism), it was around long before Confucius came
along.
 Yin and Yang is an ancient tradition that holds that there
are opposing forces in the world which balance each
other out and therefore create harmony.
 The yang traditionally represents ideas such as: hot, dry,
male, light and the yin are things like: darkness, female,
moist, etc.
 The point being that for anything to exist, it’s opposite must
as well. I’ve also heard this applied to good and evil,
though neither of these forces is specifically meant to
represent evil.
 Many people ask “why does evil exist in the world?”
 The best answer I’ve ever heard is that only as much good
can exist as there is evil. If there where no evil, what
would good be the opposite of? For as much love as there
is in the world, there must be as much a capacity for hate
as well.
