Take a neutral path, then you see many pairs of action and reaction.
Light is in opposite of darkness, east is in opposite of west, high is
in opposite of low, long is opposite short etc. In visible world,
things work in pairs. It is also something like the cause and effect
in Buddhism.

So if there is too much or too little of something, that is yang or
yin. You must take the correct path in between excess and deficiency
in a way which takes into account the interconnectedness of things and
the details of the situation. You cannot separate the cause from the
effect in practise, that is just a way of talking. In practise you
must take the world in all its complexity and find the balance: the
one and only healthy natural moral way to live in harmony with the
world at large and in harmony with your own true nature.
