Balance
One fine evening, epoch walking to my friends place enjoying the ravishing climate & chill breeze, making one to be there walking or standing(a) still to enjoy it, I saw a group of kids ride their bicycles like a gang & roaming. A huge van came in the opposite direction, which meant they had to make space, which they have been occupying so far, for the monster vehicle. Due to emergent change of course or rough terrain, one of the kids lost his chemical equilibrium & fell to the safe side of the road.I thought, The kid moldiness be new to riding bicycles & hence couldnt manage his balance when confront with a sudden change. This thought struck me big, when for a here and now I used it comparing the journey of riding our lifespan against every challenge or change. I wondered, How easily it made sense? . Our full life, argonnt we actually trying to keep all the various forces in a state of balance, where we are not pulled or pushed in by anyone of them so that we are deviated f rom our actual destined path. If so then what would be a balanced life.I would say a balance life is A way of life that enables us to live in compliance with our nature, to improve our character, to better deal with the inevitable hardships of life and to strive for the true(p) of the whole, not conscionable of the individual. This I believe will lead us to the ultimate blessedness in life. So basically, Life is a dish out of developing virtues which are immanent for achieving the ultimate goal, happiness, which must be coveted for itself. It must not be confused with carnal or corporal pleasures, although there are many people who consider this to be received happiness, since they are the most basic form of pleasures.This is not to say that happiness is void of pleasures, but that pleasures are a natural effect, not the purpose. The virtues essential for attaining true happiness is in itself a balance of 2 constitutionals. For example, courageousness is the middle betwe en one extreme of deficiency (cowardice) and the other extreme of excess (recklessness). The middle depends on the situation because of the difficulty of the balance in certain situations can require a different level of action. Recognising this leads to improve the virtues constantly in anticipation of various different situations requiring the higher levels of actions.This holds beneficial for virtues, not vices (hate, envy, jealousy, theft, murder, etc. ) So what endangers the balance of the life? It follows the same convention as in physical world. When there is an excess or deficiency of the struggling forces then the balance is destroyed. Todays modern man usually succumbs in the sin of excess, which can be seen in the excess accumulation of solid wealth, food, alcohol, drugs, etc. than what is necessary. But he can descend into deficiency as easily too, like inadequate attention to education, healthy sport activities, ingenious pursuits, etc.For every action that we ta ke in our life we must look to keep it in balance with the corresponding balancing actions. The beautiful example, we must look to for keeping things in balance is nature, until man came on & destroyed the state with his want for excess & lack of attention towards actions for preserving the balance. Since mankind beings are from nature, isnt it reasonable to conclude that humans should also uphold the balance, just like nature? The problem is that the vast majority of people are unwilling to admit that they are not at the top of nature, just a part of it.The current multiplication need to overcome their superciliousness and arrogance and look in nature for guidance, because we all depend on it & to leave behind a safer, habitable environment for the next generation to live in. Staring into the sky and imagining ourselves in heaven will not accomplish anything it is better instead look around & to accept our mapping in the world and appreciate the beauty of life, and death, whic h gives meaning to it. This will assistance us in upholding the balance both within & outside as well.
