Balance

There has to be a balance somewhere. Why do I feel as if there's no such thing as a balanced "balance" anymore? When you look at the big picture, sure, there's a balance of sorts - good things and bad things usually even out. But that's with the big picture. What about localities? That's where balance goes haywire. There doesn't seem to be a balance right now. Too many "bad" stuff to think and worry about.

But then.. what about perspective? Is that taken into consideration? If "good" and "bad" things balance things out, what about peoples' perspective? Surely that should be taken into account since nothing is unfortunate if one doesn't consider it unfortunate. That's where my confusion sets in. Where do you draw the line? Lines shouldn't be vague. In paper, a line is a line. But in reality, the line that divides two or more thoughts leave a lot of gray area to be guessed at. Theory is often much simpler that actual practice, when thought is involved. The only reason a lot of people think otherwise is because they rely a lot on one thing theories can never use for justification. Call is feeling, faith, fate, destiny, anything of similar name.. and vagueness, but the truth is, it's an easy way out. A simple "I guess that's just how it is," and life is much simpler. Just don't try to think WHY it's like that. You can't do that with theory. That's why it's so difficult to explain a lot of everyday stuff. It's so common that we don't really think about it enough to answer the WHY question.

So going back to balance, is there really such a thing? Daily events and experiences tell us that, yes, there is such a thing as balance. What about in the long run? Don't you sometimes get that sinking feeling where everything is slowly going from bad to worse? How do you explain that? Is that where perspective comes along? Perspective IS one of those things that blunts the harshness of reality. Is it all a matter of perspective? Or is it really just because you don't like thinking about the WHY?

We do a lot of things subconsciously. It's time to figure out why we do them.
