mike chen is on a distinguished road
visible/invisible

let's put it this way: you are experiencing something which you label as the "good" because it feels right, it acts right, the experience of it seems to be "right." that's fine. but at the
same time that you are experiencing what you have said to
be "the good," can you equally say what is the "bad"? try it!

you can do the same thing with the notions of visible and
invisible. look out from the computer screen into your room.
see everything in front of you, make a note of every item
visible. now, can you tell us what is "invisible"?

or, you can see aveline's sunny side of the mountain in front of you. lovely landscape. you can say to yourself, "there is the other side of the mountain for sure!" but of course, you can not see it!

the orientals do use this shorthand notation for all of this. yin
and yang. very cool.
