The dynamics of Yin and Yang have been subject to even such serious things as the throne. The Emperor of China was succeeded by the son, and the Minister. And the Minister was a member of the Imperial family by the female line. And when the life of the king his rights were limited. To old age, the Minister was dethroned a king and took his place. And he, in turn, shifted the grown son of the king - the continuer of the male line. When the son arose, the new Minister of natural female line and so on. So here, in such a serious state matter as the succession was achieved by the interaction of the Yin and Yang principles.
The beginning of Yin and Yang determine the age of the bride and groom. For example, a man marries at the age of thirty, a woman married at twenty. Why? Because the number of Yang, symbolizing man Even, and the number of Yin - odd.
And again begins high philosophy. Twenty and thirty years to a total of fifty. And the number "fifty" in Chinese philosophy and corresponds to the number Great Limit and great Enlargement, from which arise the Ten thousand things, i.e. the whole world. This number is the source, of the origin of the space underlying its formation and development.
Consequently, the change of seasons and the arrival of the New Year is also subordinated to the dynamics of two great started from the draconian mysterious scroll.
We are always wondering whose will be the coming year, horse, cat or rabbit, as for the ancient sage is the most important thing is to keep the harmony of Yin and Yang, in order not to break the universe.
From this point of view, it is preferable, for example, for the year of the tiger was the year of the hare, after all, the tiger meets strangely enough, the beginning of eternal Yin and Bunny - Feb. Rabbit comes after tiger because he is smaller and truslivee, but sometimes a Scythe can compete with the King of the Jungle in bravery and sacrifice, just like Bunny competes with a wolf in Russian fairy tales.
In the East of the hare like to tell the following Buddhist legend.
In one of his previous lives the great Buddha suffered from hunger. And here to feed the Enlightened one brave rabbit threw himself into the fire. That the Buddha sent his soul to the moon. There, under the shade of acacia, selfless hare tolet in a mortar magic potions and adds them to the elixir of immortality. So in some areas of China people call the film "doctor", or "moon doctor". About the hare tell that he lives to a thousand years old and that in old age becoming white.
Let the New Year exploring the philosophical Museum began from the eternal universe will be born again ten thousand things, and, as they say in the East, let a hundred flowers bloom.

Success and requires climbing a new peak
Why no one feels pleasure continuously? Maybe people "get tired" of happiness? Just a man accustomed to his achievements, success and requires climbing a new peak, there is a need for deeper experiences, different self-affirmation and spiritual enrichment, which disappears without a sense of fullness of being. (L. A. Popov Ethics. A course of lectures. - M., 1998. - P. 79). Besides, nothing human is capable of continuous operation. No wonder Aristotle associated the pleasure with the activity.
"Pleasure is not continuous, for it accompanies activity. Some things I enjoy, while Nova, and then not, and for the same reason, the first thought is passionate and intensely active in, for example, when the faces, but after the activity is not so strained, on the contrary, she is often careless, but because they fade and pleasure.
It can be assumed that all strive for pleasure for the same reason all are drawn to life, because life is a kind of activity, and each operates in such areas and in such ways, what he especially Luba; for example, the musician works by hearing the tunes, curious - thought in the objects of speculation, and among others to behave towards each. Pleasure gives the perfection of the operations, and hence of life itself, to which all aspire. Therefore, it is clear that and are drawn to pleasure, for everyone it makes life complete". (Aristotle. Vol. in 4 vols. Vol. 4. - M., 1984. - S. 275).
However, most of those people who brings happiness to pleasure, thanks to common sense understand that happiness in special treats: long associated with the serenity and joy of life. Therefore, many devote their entire lives to the search for increasingly refined pleasures, trying to prolong an illusory happiness in this way.

The Ontario government wants to support Ontarians in growing their families
The Ontario government wants to support Ontarians in growing their families. To this end, it has announced it will fund one cycle of in vitro fertilization for up to 400 Ontarians.
According to Health Minister Eric Hoskins, this plan promotes
“family-building for those who couldn’t otherwise have the opportunity
to have children.”
But, of course, procreation is not the only
way to have children. Many people – including myself – have children,
their own children, but these people have never procreated. Rather they
have adopted children.
Like many people who turn to
assisted-reproductive techniques to have children, many of us who choose
adoption pay thousands of dollars to build our families. That’s even
true of some people who pursue public domestic adoptions, as opposed to
private domestic or international adoptions.
Some of these folks pay privately for an
adoption home study, for example, along with the parenting training
required for an Ontario adoption, because the wait lists in their area
for public versions of these services are too long. They are sometimes
even encouraged by their local Children’s Aid Society, because of the
wait, to pursue a private home study or private parenting classes.
In addition, people who choose public adoption
often pay for post-adoption support for their families, support that is
frequently needed in parenting children who were Crown wards.
Government payments for therapy or other forms of support that these
children received when they were wards of the state usually stop when
the children are adopted.
To be fair, the Ontario government provides
some post-adoption subsidies to people who complete public adoptions.
But these subsidies are limited to families who adopt either a child
over the age of 8 or a sibling group, and also to those whose annual
income is $94,000 or less.
Then, of course, there are people who pay
thousands of dollars for private or international adoptions. They fit
different profiles. For example:
What is Ontario doing to help these families with the high costs of their adoptions?
The answer is: not nothing, though not nearly
as much as what it’s offering to IVF patients. Currently, Ontarians who
succeed with an adoption are eligible for a small provincial tax credit
and a larger federal tax credit. In 2015, the most one could get from
the two credits combined is $2,846, and that amount is available only to
people who spent $15,000 or more on their adoption.
By contrast, the savings the government has
promised to individual IVF patients is much greater. It is a minimum of
$6,000 (the approximate cost of one cycle of egg retrieval,
fertilization and embryo transfer) and a maximum of this amount plus the
costs of transferring extra embryos if earlier transfers were
unsuccessful. Notice that patients will receive this amount regardless
of whether any treatment is successful. Yet with adoption, lack of
success means no government subsidy at all.
The new proposed funding for infertility and
adoption in Ontario is, in my view, clearly inequitable. The government
needs to go back to the table and hammer out a more equitable
arrangement. Otherwise, it will contribute to the view that adoption is
second best as a way of building families.
Government should never reinforce this view,
or worse forget – as the health minister seems to have done – that
adoption is even an option.
