My Two Faced Book

Without the black or white keys, a piano is incomplete; the sounds created will never be rich, nor harmonious. Just like the keys, everything in life comes in duos; duality forms a whole and one cannot exist without the other. Similarly, energy is needed throughout the day, but inactivity is necessary during the night to recharge. No human would survive deprived of warmth in the cold, but none would exist either if left without coolness in the heat. Taoists believe what may seem as opposite forces are, in fact, interconnected and interdependent upon each other. In order to achieve peace and harmony, Yin and Yang have to be balanced within a person. Unfortunately, I feel the imbalance of my two personas in my everyday life, …show more content…
In other words, you shouldn’t determine the value of something based solely on the outward appearance. To illustrate this, my book is consumed by black at first sight, representing the yin dominance. The cover of the book is my outer persona, the side that I present myself with for most people. In a way, I have created a mask of someone who is calm and simple. However, as the book opens, it’s completely different as my Yang now dominates. This is my inner sanctum, where the unfiltered side of me runs rampant. It’s the explosive and passionate persona within me. Not only that, it appears to be flooding out onto the cover of my book, distressed from being locked away like a secret. Despite the Yang attempting to reach out, the black “gate” symbolizes a guarding aspect, the Yin protects the image that I present to others. As the book opens, my mask falls off. Taking a closer look inside reveals my Yang energy, but also what keeps me calm during the ups and downs of life. Several symbols are used to represent that. First, the music bar and notes reveal my mellowness while playing and teaching piano, making me yin. Second, the jagged waves demonstrate the occasional bursts of anger and chaos within me, bringing out my yang. Finally, the stars reflect my passions and ambitiousness, striving for a better me everyday. In short, the symbols appear on the inside as I may seem plain on the surface, …show more content…
Knowing myself, I am someone who would rather stay home on the weekends rather than going out to socialize. Consequently, introverted and shy are two traits that define my outer persona. Furthermore, my yin is showcased when I’m teaching young kids piano, nurturing them while using creative thinking during lessons in hopes of preventing boredom. Additionally, playing the piano calms me down after a hectic day, as my emotions express themselves through the notes; music plays an important role in my Yin. Despite having many positive traits, I’m an extremely indecisive person and I wait for decisions to come instead of taking initiative. For that reason, I need some yang amongst my yin so that I can stand up for myself and speak up for what I believe in. Overall, I believe I believe I have excess yin on the outside, consuming my outer
