: I don't want to revert - however, what I am saying is not contradicted by the above definitions. In fact, it is supported by them. Especially the acupuncture.com.au source (although it's not really academic, it is correct.) No one thing is completely yang or yin, and things are yin or yang in relation to one another. I'll change that section alone at some point, and keep the T in Taoism rather than the D if you like, but currently, calling one thing yin and another yang, as the article says at the moment, is not the real theory, it's just a common corruption. Even in China, actually. I suppose that should be mentioned. Anyway, yes, the goal is the same. [[User:Blackjuice|Blackjuice]] 14:47, 4 June 2007 (EDT)
