Balancing Act

No other word is more subtle in it's meaning than balance. We try to balance our private & public life, joy & sorrow, love & hatred, and so on and so forth, yet it seems to be so difficult sometimes.

Success feeds success, failure feeds failure, the examples of positive feedback loops abound. However, we need a negative feedback loop in our life to keep it balanced. If things go in the wrong direction beyond a threshold it will bring us back to normal, like a thermostat. Yes, that's what we need, a thermostat for our private and public life!!
