Taoism and Confucianism have to be seen side-by-side as two distinct responses to the social, political and philosophical conditions of life two and a half millennia ago in China. Whereas Confucianism is greatly concerned with social relations, conduct and human society, Taoism has a much more individualistic and mystical character, greatly influenced by nature.
Confucius was born in 551 BCE in Lu, a small state in China and died in 479 BCE. He was an esteemed Chinese thinker and social philosopher, whose teachings and philosophy have deeply influenced Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese thought and life. His philosophy emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity.

Some of them have some basis in reality, some not.
Life and death are not "two sides of the same thread". They are, if I can risk such an audacious assumption, life and death. Tertium non datur. I like your other videos because of the same questioning attitude this one is definitely lacking.
I agree that life is life and that death is death. Like other bumper sticker sayings, "two sides of the same thread" to me just indicates the path or thread that all living organisms travel.
