Contrary

by Roxana Bogdan on September 28, 2008

Darkness’s light
Light’s darkness.
Thorn’s flower.
Flower’s thorn.
Silence’s word
Word’s silence.
Blackness’ white
White’s blackness.
Night’s day
Day’s night.
Noise’s music
Music’s noise.
Sadness’s happiness
Hapiness’s sadness.
Death’s life
Life’s death.

This reminds me of something I was reading last night on Taoism.

It’s written by Lao Tzu:

When people see some things as beautiful,
others things become ugly.
When people some things as good,
other things become bad.

Being and non-being create each other.
Difficult and easy support each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and Low depend on each other.
Before and after follow each other.

Therefor the Master
acts without doing anything
and teaches without saying anything.
