The Yin Yang symbol represents the harmonious coexistence of significantly different individuals.
Equality and harmony are not achieved by having equally divided portions directly opposing each other.
In oriental philosophy, harmonious coexistence can only be achieved through giving, as well as, taking, in equal measures, by and from both parties (hence the curvatures in the symbol) .The two dots bearing the opposite colors symbolize the accepting, harboring, and honoring of the values of the opposing side, deep within one’s own soul.
This is the oriental idea of harmonious co-existence.
This concept applies to the relationship between two parties, between husband and wife, between parent and child, between siblings, friends, colleagues, and it applies equally to same sex couples, which is a union of two distinctly different individuals.
Needless to say, a couple which is living in harmony with each other is a happy couple.
For those of you who have been seeking happiness, you need to understand that, true “Happiness” isn’t a full circle of sunshine. The same relationships, as described above, exist between “Happiness” and “Sadness”; “Happiness” and “Hardship”; Happiness” and “Disappointment”; “Happiness” and “Pain”. Be prepared to experience your fair share of sadness, hardship, disappointment and pain, before, and after, you have found “Happiness.”
