Remarkably, since the ancient times man has talked about balance. By the way, I know this topic is kind of hopeful for half of you but though i'm studying food science, i'm not talking about balancing a person's diet here. So this is not teaching you ways to lose weight but if you include a cheque of $5000, i'll gladly impart my knowledge to you...
-Abstract thinking ahead-
As many should have heard or at least seen of the yin-yang drawing from the chinese religion (taoism), its really about balance. Even good old zen (japanese) and feng shui has stuff about balance. In life without knowing, we will always revolve around equilibriums and face problems that would balance out life in general. There is a time for everything and a season for all activities. In life, regardless of how much we push, we will still yield to the flow of the world. As much as we fight the current, we will still be swept away by it. In life again, no matter how seemingly insignificant the actions we do, it is what creates the flow of man-kind. No matter how much we wish to control the flow of the world, in time it will be nothing but chasing of the wind.
In life, there is always balance, as if its to highlight and remind us the otherside of life. For if there is no darkness, how will we know there is light? If there is no sickness, how will we know what is good health? If there is no death, how will we know what is living? The anguish of man is only doubled because we know what is joy.
Indeed... There is a time for everything, a season for all activities under the sun. Life is a balance of everything, for if there is man, there is woman. If you hear thunder there was lightning, if there is a chicken, there is an egg and it goes the other way around as well.
Various seasons or time in life: There is...
A time of death, a time of birth.
A time of war, a time of peace
A time of anguish, a time of bliss
A time of pain, a time of pleasure
A time of old age, a time of youth
A time to cry, a time to laugh
A time of silence, a time of noise
A time of hate, a time of love
A time of weeping, a time of laughing
A time to be sick, a time to be healed.
A time to chase, a time to give up
A time to eat, a time to fast
For in life, there is a balance we cannot see through ourselves but through observing the cycles of life. Balance is the key to understand philosophy and the ways of living our lives. Some find chaos in peace whereas some find peace in chaos. For all of mankind, there is never one right answer, for the answers are in the perspectives of the individual's mind. How many seek to find the meaning of life but end up losing their life. For as its expected, where there is life, there is death and thus the balance of life restarts the cycle again...
There is death.... Now theres life.
