Just so everyone knows, Yin-Yang (pinyin in Chinese) is a philosophy in Taoism, basically it means that polar opposites or seemingly contrary forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world, and how they give rise to each other in turn in relation to each other.

Translation: Everything has both yin and yang aspects as light could not be understood if darkness didn't exist, and shadow cannot exist without light.

I've heard people say that it's the philosophy that there's only black and white, no grey areas, I've also heard people say it means lightness and darkness are always in battle, which is also false. It's like I'm the only one who understand Taoistic philosophy...

I like how a Christian is explaining Taoism to the Internet.

Taoism is more of a philosophy then a religion, and I make it a point to know more then just one religion, I'm not an ignoramus...

"Indeed, but most people are."

Like you, assuming that a religion defines what you can and cannot know?

I forgot to mention that Yin-Yang doesn't label one side "good" and one "bad", but rather that is the decision of the beholder to decide for himself/herself which is which. Sometimes, the answer may be to the beholder neither.

Yes, but without the darkness, we probably wouldn't get to sleep early enough because of light everywhere, therefore we would get less sleep, therefore messing with us in many many ways.
