It’s funny that the Chinese tout harmonic balance and yin yang and Taoist internal peace and Confucius’s calm wisdom, and yet we have to deal with the Asian Fatalist Gene. It’s like the Catholic religion honoring virginity and disinheriting man’s built-in desire for pleasures of the flesh. Maybe it can’t be done. Maybe we’re gonna be drama queens. And they’re going to have sex/kids out of wedlock or be interested in young altar boys. Maybe it is inherent that we as homo sapien fight for what we don’t have naturally. Curly-haired people want straight hair. Straight-haired people want curls. Maybe that IS yin yang, to have both sides of the coin in dual existence, juxtaposed and seemingly contradictory, but somehow not.

I gotta figure out the “somehow not” part.
