Is YANG the best?

One of the six classical schools of Chinese philosophy is the Yin-Yang. Its basic concept was that the events in the universe are governed by two forces which balance each other – the dark, passive yin, and the bright, positive, active yang.
None of these forces may take the upper hand, both must always be with and balance. Today we live in a world with too much activity and light. I think is time to calm down a bit. Just let the night embrace us and start breathing again, slowly, without rush. Let us stay in our rooms for a few days and just eat of each others flesh and liquids. let us love without inhibitions, as it would be the last time it happened…

The Iranian Revolution

Nobody can say it better than Roger Cohen:

“The Great Satan is great also in his power to exert fascination. “Death to America” has become background noise, as interesting as piped elevator music.
The revolution freed Iranians from the brutality of the shah’s secret police, Savak, and delivered a home-grown society modeled on the tenets of Islam in place of one pliant to America’s whim. But like all revolutions, it has also disappointed. Freedom has ebbed and flowed since 1979. Of late, it has ebbed.”
