THE 'YIN' & 'YANG' OF FISTS

In martial arts, the fist can be closed or open, and, therefore,one of the pair, as most persons have two fists, two hands, two arms,etc., can be 'YIN' WHILE THE OTHER IS 'YANG'.....Binary operations, dualistic notions, and so all boil down to 'YES' or 'NO'...and we,of course, also add other things such as, 'love & hate'; 'good & evil'; 'hot & cold',etc. and make them usually 'EITHER-OR', one or the other, etc....If we link hot and cold; good and evil; dark and light; etc. we then have a scale...a linear progression, a 'digitalized' format,etc. Our straight-line thinking and our clocks all tend to be this....thus a hundreth of a second becomes 'money' and the implications and consequences of all this are 'enormous'...DEVIATIONS FROM STRAIGHT LINES ARE THE RULE RATHER THAN THE EXCEPTION in many things and in many ways...as personal plans and goals are in a constant 'state of flux'...... THUS, ONE FIST CAN BE SOFT AND THE OTHER OF IRON...both can open or both can close and they can also alternate in various patterns should be be able to manipulate them and control them.....Yet, even those whocan do spectacular things with their fists do not always understand or master the lines from the fingers to the brain and vice versa....and the various subtle sensations and vibrations that may be present and actually felt if sufficient effort, that is, conscious efforts are made....we ignore most nerve patterns unless they are pinched or severed,etc....More on this another time.
