The Perfect Imbalance


An oxymoron, you would think!!! Just put in order to gain that extra hype and attention.
The same trick that the Cinema makers follow; be it the extra hype about the shower scene in the movie.. or, be it the unwanted Item Numbers with dancers showing more of cleavage rather than the actual dance itself.

But, the fact is that this term holds true to a lot of us.

I classify "Perfect Imbalance" (or, the PI factor) as a situation wherein you have a choice between the "good" or the "bad"... the "joys" or the "sorrows"... the "light" or the "darkness"... and you keep enjoying/wanting to enjoy the good/bright side and hence upsetting the equilibrium of life.
The end is definitely not pretty... Once you disturb the imbalance, you gradually lean sideways towards your chosen "good" side, till one day you fall.

Many people(this incluses me) fail to understand the precariousness of the PI situation.
Fot most of us, PI is all we crave for because we think that we will be happy if we stay in the perfect position. This is all a fallacy. No one can stay happy all his life; Or, stay sad all his life!

We tend to forget that life is all about balance... And by striving for the Perfect Imbalance, we ruin the whole meaning of Life itself.
Life is meant to be enjoyed one step at a time... whatever happens... It is Life!
As they (read: Wise Men) always say, "Change is the only constant thing in Life". And without change we are as good as dead.

My life has never been the straight kind... And I have to admit that I've, somewhere along the lines, longed for the "Perfect Imbalance"...

But i was to realize later, that it's not the right place to be. Life, really loses its meaning if ALL things go your way.
You may still breathe... But, for Life, you don't seem to exist anymore.
Slowly and gradually you lose out on those wonderful feelings that you may have encountered had you been alive.


With time, I have evolved! And I have just one advice to give:

Stay ALIVE!!! Stay BALANCED!!!

And remember, To enjoy Life; you don't need the PI factor in your life!!!

P.S> Anything in excess is bad... I will quote Shakespeare here..
"Play on you musisians. Give me excess of it..that surfeiting the apetite may
die and hence sicken."

Good post. I guess it's the bad days that make the good days so good. :)

Thanks Sayesha. (*beaming with happiness*)
Very rightly said. We learn to appreciate the good only because we have encountered the bad
