All our lives, we are told we must be
balanced, balanced and more balanced. While we were kids on the see saw, the
fun was exactly the opposite that is one side being up and the other side
swinging up in seconds. Then we had the swing on which soaring higher and
higher, one hardly knew what balance meant.
We read and preach a lot of theory. But
actually, where is the balance? You love like crazy, like there is no tomorrow.
You hate, waiting for tomorrow to avenge some deed or another. You eat the food
you like until your tummy groans. You see serials like one addicted, forgetting
day and night. You are constantly on whatsapp, face book and calls for hours.
If you are a golfer, you never heard of the word "balance".
Today, I am a spoilt child of my parents.
Tomorrow, I will want to do exactly what I feel like. Later, I will want much name,
fame and money. And so on.... so much for balance! What is that saying that
says...
Love as if you never loved before
Laugh as if you will never laugh again
Cry your heart out when it is in pain
Enjoy with every cell in your body....
So much for balance right!
I always think that balance means certain
contentment, a satiation level. And this can spell a saturation for which you
have to really be ready and would have to have arrived at that point.
How many of us have?
