For those who wish to change the world
for the better,
It is well to remember the relations
between right and wrong.
For if you wish to add a right
you must also add a wrong;
And if you wish to take away a wrong
you must also take away a right.
For their relationship is such that
one does not exist without the other.

I rediscovered this when going through some of my old papers. I wrote it in 1969, just after I took a comparative religions class (the same semester I took geology 101, my then unbeknownst career). This was written to express my then understanding of Taoism and the yin/yang concept. I carry both geology and the dao with me today (both lower case).
