^^^Totally relevant.
reminds me of Street Fighter and Liu Kang...or is that Mortal Kombat? Either way...
 
I don't think of them of opposites, more as 2 parts of a whole. The give and take. Like a black and tan, or malt and hops. The production and the drinking. The drinking and the rambling. The reading and the posting.
 
Thay are Opposite there is no gray area in Yin and Yang
no moral equivalence no white wash or fuzzy feel good political correctness.
dark and light, good and evil, right and wrong.

Maybe it works for that weird kid in highschool sitting in the corner reading comic books and trying to shoot fireballs out if his hands. But I prefer Flesh :p

Yin and Yang means a fad from the 90's. * reminisces * "Man that ying yang choker was aweome......"
 
In Chinese philosophy, the concept of yin yang ([yin - simplified Chinese: 阴; traditional Chinese: 陰; pinyin: yīn] [yang - simplified Chinese: 阳; traditional Chinese: 陽; pinyin: yáng] eum-yang in Korean; often referred to in the west as yin and yang) is used to describe how seemingly disjunct or opposing forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world, giving rise to each other in turn. The concept lies at the heart of many branches of classical Chinese science and philosophy, as well as being a primary guideline of traditional Chinese medicine,[1] and a central principle of different forms of Chinese martial arts and exercise, such as baguazhang, taijiquan, and qigong. Many natural dualities - e.g. dark and light, female and male, low and high - are cast in Chinese thought as yin yang.

Yin and yang are complementary opposites within a greater whole. Everything has both yin and yang aspects, which constantly interact, never existing in absolute stasis. Compare wuji. Yin and yang is symbolized by various forms of the Taijitu.

Pretty much sums it up.
