Yin/Yang a very complex yet simple idea shown as a circle with half black and half white symbolising the dual nature of things and we cannot have one without the other. We would not know day if it wasn’t for night. We could not know good if we didn’t know evil. And within each lies the seed of the other. Our true nature is complementary, interconnected, independent yet interdependent.
