Yin and Yang

Balance might be the single most used, aspired to, important, inspirational, vilified, and aspired to word of my life. There must be balance. There must be a middle ground. There must be a grey area.

To that point, it is the hardest thing to achieve. The extremes are so easy. It is so easy to fly off the handle, to go wavering from one extreme to the other and back again. It is so easy to be either black or white and forget the grey. You can see it in pretty much every facet of our society as well as in our people. Democrat and Republican is the easiest way to see it, but that's just scratching the surface.
