MessageYin does not mean less; "yin" can be as energetic as "yang",
just in a different way. Yin means contractive, subdued, or feminine
whereas Yang means expansive, aggressive, or masculine.
These are not meant to be considered separately however.
Yin-yang is one thing, not two things.
They are like the north and south poles on a bar magnet.
You can't have one without the other; you can't just
have a north pole or just a south pole.
However, yin-yang is not static. It is in constant
motion.
It's like breathing. To breathe, you must breathe in
and breathe out and then breathe in again, and then breathe
out again, etc. This oscillation is akin the yin-yang
oscillation.
See QF2 for more details.
