More Yin/Yang #1

Have you ever met anyone who seems to be good at absolutely everything? Sickening right, for us mere mortals. The fact is that this is not normal or even natural.

Yin/Yang theory in Oriental Medicine states that "if there is an excess of something (e.g.. skill or intelligence), there must also be a deficiency (something lacking)."

If someone was, for example, particularly good at say science or technology, they may be lacking in other skills like emotional relationships or possibly they can't knock a nail in with a hammer.

 

We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Part of the art of life is recognising these.

So, if you notice that someone is particularly gifted in one area, it might be fun to try to discover their "deficiency".

It is my theory that those people that appear to be good at everything, are also good at hiding there weaknesses. At least it makes me feel better to think that.
