No balance, no quilibrium, all just a poetical, pseudo-philosophical nonsense, sorry. Life was never fair and will never be. I hope there won't be another ww in my lifetime, as if it will - you'll be able to see too of how irrational and senless these thoughts of a westerner leading a somewhat comfortable lifestyle, sounds.. You don't like the "game", I get it.. most doesn't like it, so they think of various similar stuff to justify it. The game won't change tho', best of luck at trying to do that..
And I can add: grass is sometimes A LOT greener on the other side. People, once again, just keep convincing - it is not, when they can't check it out. (just like a fella with a fat wife of 20 years tries to convince himself that "it's just a pussy/grass is not greener on the other side". Well he'd get a heart attack instantly if he'd realize that sometime its actually IS.)
I never said life is fair. Where did I say that? You have this problem like a lot of Westerners about "fairness". No life is not fair, and never was.
And yes, there is balance. Balance doesn't equal to fairness. Balance is natural, and so is conflict. And within conflict there is balance. A bird's wings beat against the air, causing it to fly...the conflict of its wings with the air creates a balance in which it can move fwd. It stops beating its wings (no conflict), it soon loses balances and sinks.
It's you who are unhappy and don't like the "game", its you who have thrown in the towel. Yet, you want to project to others it's them. Nope, it's you. You are the angry one. Angry at whatever it is in life. I accept the game for what it is, and what it has always been. Survival in it's rawness can be cruel, can be beautiful and can be awe inspiring. People who exist in a constant state of anger, bitterness, misery have their own internal issues to deal with. But, try to convince others to join in with them.
And that guy with the fat wife for 20 yrs...was she always that? And is he fat? Why did she get that way? If a man is that upset over it and tries to convince himself otherwise, then that is on him. Can she look better? Yes. What other things does she offer? Take a look at Pierce Bronsan's wife. I let it go from there.
And yes, you can take bits and pieces, it is not a all or nothing deal. Not everything is of two extremes. Not everything is hot or cold, that is why there is a term called "warm".
