Passage Of Time Keeping Track
1,025 words
Not until somewhat recently (that is, in terms of
human history) did people find a need for knowing
the time of day. As best we know, 5000 to 6000
years ago great civilizations in the Middle East
and North Africa initiated clock making as opposed
to calendar making. With their attendant
bureaucracies and formal religions, these cultures
found a need to organize their time more
efficiently. After the Sumerian culture was lost
without passing on its knowledge, the Egyptians
were the next to formal...

Yin And Yang Five Elements
800 words
According to Taoist philosophy, every object or
matter in the world contains both Yin and Yang,
which is why there is a portion of the Yang in
Yin, and vice versa. The Chinese strongly believe
that when something nears reaching its extreme, it
becomes its polar opposite, as illustrated by the
symbol. To illustrate this concept, for example,
consider an ordinary balloon. As the balloon fills
to its extreme with air, the balloon will
certainly burst, causing a transformation to a
deflated piece of...
