Stephen Perry’s Response to MFM E-Letter No. 11 Conceiving Yin and Yang - The Socio-Economic Interpretation 悟在阴阳-社会经济观

VERY PROFOUND, I NEED A YEAR TO THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN.

BUT THE FORCES WHICH PROPEL US TOWARDS CONFLICT ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THE NICETIES OF YIN AND YANG.

THE FORCES OF RISING ARE ALSO WITHOUT YIN AND YANG FEELINGS.

SO CAN WE PRODUCE SYNTHESIS BEFORE WE EXPERIENCE THE CLASH

My own reply to Stephen Perry:

Dear Stephen,

It is very encouraging to hear your comments on my paper. My hope is that those who have the power and influence over the dynamics that shape our world could be enlightened by understanding the philosophical concept of yin and yang. As described in Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Medicine: “Those who conceive yin and yang will have the Tao-Dao to overcome difficulties and survive all odds and those who are ignorant of it all go against the forces of yin and yang and will perish”. May our current world leaders take note of the words of our ancient sages.

Yours,

Man Fong Mei
