There is no light without darkness, no beauty without ugliness, and no good without evil. Nothing can be revealed without contrast.
The reason why the Tao cannot be named: it is written in black on black or white on white. It is not invisible, but it is not visible either, because it has no counterpart to make it known. It cannot be perceived, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
However as long as humankind dares to think that the essence must be concrete, a vicious circle runs on destroying human mind. It becomes intoxicated with opposites, and moves away from unity.
The more people esteem talent, the more they create competition. Man even succeeded to compete against naturally flying living organisms, but not without a lot of effort and failures. Unfortunately, by overlooking his own spiritual nature, which never fail, the human society gets into the twists and turns of ignorance where the quest of knowledge negates itself.
Because filling the infinity is nothing but a waste of time where no actual evolution ever takes place. Little goes less, and then none. When such a vacuum occurs, what replaces it just may cause the disintegration of that society into irrelevancy.
Fall is coming up, the Yin and Yang symbol is about to fall down, and the spirit of Lao Tzu is about to fade out. What remains won't ever be more meaningful than chaos, unless human spirit comes back up again.
(Inspired by the Tao Te Ching)
