So using the same analogy would you say that a glass of water and an ocean of water are yin and yang or are they both yin but to different magnitudes?
Hi Tingjid,

It isn’t really a matter of whether it is apt or not, it is a matter of perspective. Your view is valid from a specific perspective. Just as the view of Absolute Yin and Absolute Yang are valid from their perspective and that light from a light bulb is Yin in contrast to the light from the sun being Yang. All are correct according to the perspective with which we view the phenomena, but none of them can be considered "Absolutely True" as in, True under all circumstances. They are true only according to the specific context or perspective from which they are viewed.

What is important for us is that we do not limit our perspective. To limit our perspective is to limit our understanding of the principles of Tao.
