Theory of Balance

All things eventually balance out. Balance is an undeniable component of Life, and the scale will rise and fall with time, but at the twilight of existence, at the moment when the last star twinkles, the scale will know equilibrium.

The psychology of man struggles to find balance. The theories of Sigmund Freud point to an id and a superego, two opposing character components of the unconscious, that balance in the center as the Ego.

Balance exists in sociopsychological behavior. There are those who dislike us behind our backs, and those who admire us behind our backs. Some people offer negative feelings toward us publicly, while others shower us with positive ones privately. The world will scorn you once, revere you once; hate you twice, love you twice. But it will balance.

All men have strengths and flaws in their characters. When intense evil lies in the heart of one, there is no guarantee that affection, care, and goodness of the same caliber does not reside in the same one. We ignore some weaknesses and accept others.

If all men were created equal, then all men, and hence Life, were created with Balance in mind. It IS.
