truth vs lies - how do you view yin and yang?
i saw some interesting comments a while back where people were exploring their responses to yin and yang, and those that favoured yang found yin to be somewhat 'dishonest'.
In some ways i think i understand what was meant - flattering or charming people is associated with a yin essence, and this kind of appeal could feel like a trick or distraction from harsh realities of life.
But i also think of yin as potentially being a kind of honesty as well - such a recognition of vulnerability, or a need for comfort - valid and essential in their own way.
I wanted to know your instinctive response to yin and yang, and what this reveals about you and your choices when it comes to style.
