BALANCE!

That's hardly anything new, is it? Well, not if you know me at all, that is.

Anyway, I'm still conflicted as to whether or not me being drunk is a good thing or not. In general, it's a terribly bad thing, but that also means I'm having fun which is about three quarters of what I care about life, right?

Well, wrong. I think. If I was trying to maximise my profits on enjoyment on life, such that I would have to enjoy all of my later life and therefore have no life whatsoever during my university years, then I would totally be on the wrong track right at this moment. Because I would be enjoying myself when all of my reasonable state of mind says I shouldn't be.

So today's lesson is about BALANCE.

This is, arguably, the single most important lesson there is to learn. Balance is EVERYTHING.

And EVERYTHING mean almost everything. This is the point where I go in to feng shui and all that, but the central idea you need to keep in mind is that everything you do has consequences. And all of those consequences are balanced in some way by the universe. In general, you can sum a lot of this up through Newton's third law: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

This means, if you do something which benefits you in the short term, then it will ultimately hinder you in the long run. Furthermore, something which might not seem at the time to be a wise choice might ultimately result in a greater position for yourself later on.

Okay, I'll be the first to admit that Newton's Laws were meant for physical applications rather than moral ones. But the point still stands that everything that comes around, goes around. In a very much more verbose fashion, but still.

So yeah. Balance. Balance in everything you do, say and think. That's what it all comes down to. If you have no balance then <insert weird crazy zen talk here> and you will never find true happiness.
