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?
