Yes, I agree that they were not the most well-phrased. But I didn't want to start a debate about my particular interpretations, so I just quoted someone else's that were fairly close.

Self-interest should be, in my opinion "self-absorbtion".

As far as "feminine" and "masculine"; as a 6'1" male who takes pride in his ability to embroider, I've always eschewed the labels of "feminine" and "masculine". I think the interpreter here took the analogy of Yin/Yang to Male/Female a bit too literally, which is all too common. As for the rest of the statement, I would personally say that the properties of flexibility and suppleness are at least as important as the others. To suggest that one quality is more important than another somewhat ignores the concepts of contrast and balance in the TTC.

But, all of that is waaay off-topic. More to the point, do you think the node would be better served if I just used my own versions of the priciples and ignored the WikiPedia article?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
