I don't know if I should be posting this discussion under this topic. But the inspiration to start this actually came from a very popular Anime which I know a lot of us are familiar with: Dragon Ball. In the series finale of that never ending Anime, Goku was told to go with the mystical dragon to avoid emergence of powerful enemies since they were attracted to his power. It was explained that because of Goku's immensely powerful "good" power, he attracts similarly powerful "evil" power to counteract his. This is a clear implication of Yin and Yang where the light balances out the dark and the most interesting part of the concept is the two dots of contrasting color contained in the sides, which means that good is not purely good and evil is not purely evil. That there's a lot to consider like intentions, means, etc.
Do you guys agree with this philosophy? How could you personally relate to this? For me, I always believe that whenever something bad happens to me, I know that there will be a good thing on its way. It may sound like optimism but I think it also indicates a balancing of the events in our or rather my life.

you seem to be drawing in a lot of inspiration from all the stuff that you read or see. that is a very good habit. Did you, by any chance, see the video, THE SECRET, which discussed at length, the benefits of POSITIVE THINKING.
it is said, that THOUGHT will manifest. SO.. your optimism will sure be a great energy to you.. .. though, I will not agree on the balancing effect ..
yin and yang, the positive and the negative, all but indicate ONENESS. let us forget the duality, and think to reach the ONENESS, which is beyond the scope of explanation.

True. I agree with you there that they're different but what we need to appreciate is the oneness, the harmonious coexistence, and the parts' completion of a whole. =)
