Getting in touch with our "masculine" side (chapter 64)
About this episode
This is, of course, the followup to last week's episode on our "feminine" side. Today, we'll look at the masculine - the yang to match last week's yin. Keep in mind these have almost nothing to do with normative gender roles. Today we'll follow last week's structure by looking at three sets of virtue characteristics aiming towards three goals/ideals. Note that the goals stay the same, but the characteristics are the "opposites" of the ones we talked about last week.
1. Proactive action and confrontation -> an invitation to cooperation
2. Active commitment -> transformation
3. "Confident humility" and self-awareness -> abundance of love
