My answer is purely philosophical!.

The existence of anything is predicated on the existence of its diametrical opposite!.

Black/White, good/evil, right/wrong, etc!.

If something is created, then its diametrical opposite will be created also and at the same time!. God and Satan, for example!. You have no reference for the goodness of God without a reference on the badness of satan!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

It doesn't mean anything to me, other than it's a picture!. It looks like black and white tadpoles together inside a circle!. If you turn your head to the side, it looks like a happy face done in the "Phantom of the Opera style" with no smile!. So, not so happy!.

I think this picture has something to do with Chinese or eastern philosophy!. I remember a book I picked up one time and on the cover was this picture and the book was called "Zen" or something!. Come to think of it, I live near Chinatown in the city I live in, and I don't ever see the Chinese people smile!. Yet, they have more money in our city than anyone else!. Strange!. Don't most people think that being wealthy is the key to happiness!? I never did, but lots do!. If they only knew what they are missing!.!.!.

It's a balance that exists in the physical world and we can find that balance, not with our analytical minds but through the spiritual!.!. Law and mercy are included, so are masculine and feminine!. It's also called the tai chi!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

life is a balancing act !.
equal amounts of problems/joy/despair!.
the secret of an happy life is to accept it!.
enjoy the day??????????Www@QuestionHome@Com
