It is true that in the history of human thinking the most fruitful developments take place at those points where two different lines of thought meet. These lines may have their roots in different human cultures, different times, different cultural environments, or different religious traditions.

If they meet; if they are at least so much related to each other that a real interaction can take place, then one may hope that new and interesting developments may follow.

TAO 2- Balance

When people see things as beautiful,
ugliness is created.
When people see things as good,
evil is created.

Being and non-being produce each other.
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low oppose each other.
Fore and aft follow each other.

Therefore the Master
can act without doing anything
and teach without saying a word.
Things come her way and she does not stop them;
things leave and she lets them go.
She has without possessing,
and acts without any expectations.
When her work is done, she take no credit.
That is why it will last forever.

Begin a journey into the Yin and Yang- balancing creative forces. 
When one force occurs, the balancing force happens. 
Beauty balances Ugly. Light v. Dark. Good v. Bad.

Thermodynamics is the balance of entropy (Yin) and enthalpy (Yang)

As a part of the universe is organized, increasing enthalpy, another region must balance with an increase in disorder- entropy. 
One creates the other without cause and effect.
