I know quite a lot about this. When Yin and Yang were given to London Zoo by the Chinese government in 1972 there was great hope that they would mate and produce little pandlets. 12 years later they had not reproduced and Yin and Yang were returned. The Chinese theory was that they had not been housed correctly and the rain and cold put them off nookie. London zoo however felt the lack of sexual action was down to yin and yang both being male.

It's no big deal. You've probably already subscribed to it, yourself, when things seemed to be going almost too good, and you think to yourself, "I'm going to pay for this later."

That would be karma yin-yang.

Incidentally, it's on the South Korean flag...

Not quite, the south korean flag symbol is more like the saidin/saidar symbol. (but in blue-red)

As a martial arts / east - southeast asia / fantasy / sci-fi buff I could go on and on about yin and yang and how they supposedly drive the universe forward... but I don't feel like it.

But remember that it is important to read an equal number of good articles and bad articles, balance is the key.

I tend to think of it as symbolizing the principle of opposites. To have hot you must have cold. To have high you must have low. Without these opposites you just have an entropic soup of sameness.
