The Sun and the Moon and Me

When I look at the sky I see sun shine during the day and moon shine during the night. The bright of sunlight and the soft moonlight remind me something. The balance of nature Chinese philosophy “Tao” calls “Ying” and “Yang”, hot and cold.
I look at the sun and moon and realize that human is like them. I always have two different sides of thoughts or behavior. Sometimes it appears like sun shine and sometimes it has a shade of shadow to hind and show only some part like the moon.
I believe that everyone is both sun and moon. Sun shines sunlight; it has power of its own. Everyone has the driving force behind the power such as need, inspiration, dream, instinct, and else. In my opinion, this is the energy which can shines like the sun in the human part. Sometimes I like the moon. When I would like to do something that I plan or dream of but I cannot let it all out as I want. It is like the moonlight that sometimes show in a quarter. Moon shows the light in the surface. The moonlight shows in a quarter or full because the moon’s orbit around the earth. It is not different from me. There are many elements of life which could be a shade of shadow such as obstacle and problem in my life. Then I can show my ability in a quarter of all I have. In this moment I face the problem of explains my thought and idea; it shows as a small quarter of the moonlight.
I think that sometimes I have to know what time I should be like the sun. When I create a good idea, I should show that it is my idea with proud. I do not have to hide myself in the shadow or to be shy. In the other way, there are some situations that I have to share a credit to my friend. Some kinds of work or some important day, I have to let the other shine their light. For example, my friend’s birthday I prepare small surprise party for her. All I do is to make her to be the most important person in her special day. That is the time for me to be the moon.
I have to learn how to balance “Ying” and “Yang”, the sun and moon in me. All the thoughts I have as the sun, I have to deal it with the skill of using instrument and shine as full moon. The way of balance is to practice, study, and learn everything in everyday life. Then I can be full moon shine softly in the sky with the star in the same as everyone.
