Tao, the Orang-Utan, Giraffe, and other animals.

An 'imbalance', of Tao? can it be possible?
Many years ago, I asked a question, 'What does an Orang-Utan , have to do with anything?'.

It led, to a rather unfortunate occurrence. Which I somewhat regret, for it became necessary, to be cruel, to be kind.
Tao is balance. Persons who have studied Tao, are responsible. If they misuse their knowledge, disharmony , is the inevitable result. Of course, Tao, will restore harmony, but the persons involved will incur, 'suffering', which, for the most part, is un-necessary.
So now I understand a little more.


A Poem that Enlightens Those Who Get Lost and Rectifies the Way to Tao

by Tzong Ley Kyun , the Righteous Yeong Real Person


'During a short period the Tiger and the Dragon will fight against each other frequently,
And they will combine in a moment.
When the Orangutan and the Distracted One are caught,
It will return to the wholeness within which all things are not yet divided.'

'
One example of overlooking behaviour noted by Petter Bockman is a description of mating among giraffes, when nine out of ten pairings occur between males.'

But, any serious students of Tao, should remember...

Let's tackle the argument regarding yin and yang energies. The argument stands on a foundation that assumes that all men exude yang energy, and all women exude yin energy. However, is every man proactive and aggressive? Is every woman passive and receptive?

We know many men and women in our lives that have various "mixes" of yin and yang; many women in today's age are proactive career women, and some men are assuming roles previously dominated by women, such as nursing, homemaking, and clerical work. With this in mind, is it really wise to say all men are proactive and all women passive? We haven't even considered relationship roles yet.

Every relationship has a series of dynamics to it. At any given time, one person is more "in-charge" and handles the finances, or makes sure the groceries are well-stocked. They might pay for nights out on the town, or be the final decision-maker.

The other person may focus more on managing conflict, helping balance the budget, cooking the meals, and so on. There are too many dynamics to place concrete labels on, and these roles are not reliant upon one's sex. The important part is that the energies between people -- especially lovers -- is constantly changing. With this in mind, we know on an intuitive level that a man can possess yin energy and a woman can possess yang energy.

The intricacies multiply when sexuality enters the equation.

The core point is that any relationship that succeeds has a healthy balance of energies. Too much aggression and two partners clash, unable to come to admirable conclusions to their conflicts. Too much passiveness and the two partners become co-dependent, afraid to confront the other for fear of losing them. It is logically sound, then, to claim that homosexual couples are no more prone to dysfunction than heterosexual couples. We know this because we know everyone has differing mixes of yin and yang, and gender is not a factor outside of social conditioning.

The crux of this argument is love.

That is, whatever force that drives people to be together. At many points in our lives, we will face various social challenges. The one thing we all have in common is a desire to love. One must ask himself or herself, "Does one's sexual preference warrant social discrimination or condemnation of their lifestyle?" The underlying principles of Taoism (harmony, humility, and acceptance) point to "No".

Homosexuals are no more unnatural than the grass that blankets this earth. They pursue love just like virtually every other human being. Discriminating against them is the same as denying someone the basic human right to love and be loved. This ideal is not new to the world, nor is it exclusive to Taoism. Even Jesus — regarded as the savior and supreme role model of Christians — preached about loving your neighbor and accepting your fellow human.
