There is no weapon more deadly Than our ambition -- Even Confucius was inferior to it. There is no abductor greater Than the Yin-Yang contradiction, From whom nothing can escape In between Heaven and Earth. But it is not the Yin and Yang, The opposite essentialities, Which play the abductor -- It is our inquisitive mind That causes them to do so. So, make inferences from this.
