The Balance

Isn't it easy to spot examples of balance around us?

Be
it a see saw, or a vegetable vendor using their scales; You leaning and
balancing on the two feet of your chair or rotating a notebook on your
fingertip; spinning a fidget on your thumb or balancing a pen on your
nose. We all do and see these acts of balancing.

These occurances of events (reaction) that balances the initiation done by us (action) sooths our mind.
The balance feels right and imposes a sense of relief that everything is running smooth and fair.

Scientists
did focus on the physical aspects of balance but there is a lot of
intangible occurances that are action reaction duos and illustrate
balance.

At a macro level, transactions are kind of an action
reaction duo, you give something - you recieve something and hence
acheive balance.

Likewise there are many philosophical
instances that potrays balance for example the whole concept of Karma
works on the principle of balance.

(Althought balance can be observed at different levels in our philosophical and psychological approach, let's stick to individual level for now.)

One might not notice but most of our actions are actually reactions to our previous reactions to bring balance to our life.

It is indeed complicated to understand and take leverage of that
understanding to attain balance in our lives, and yet some people live
happily by gaining the balance unintentionally.
Our reactions often happen to be an unconscious effort to bring balance.

Human mind is like a see saw : if you are doing something you
are told to, in order to maintain the balance of your mind, you tend to do things that you are not forced to.
And hence most of the people happen to have a hobby!

But this (act of doing things that we are not forced to )brings in psychological complications as well. Sometimes the brain tries to maintain the balance so bad that some people take it to next levels by doing things that they are explicitly told not to do and hence bring in imbalance not just in their lives but in society as well.

What if we start thinking about the things that we are told to do,
and understand its need so much as so that when we do it, it actually
feels like following our own head!
