Equilibrium

Balance achieves tranquility.

To be at peace with oneself is the most vitally sound decision that any one individual can choose to make. A clouded mind cannot induce the proper thought that humans are and should be capable of. Often, we are surrounded by ideals that lead us astray in the path to enlightenment and cause such clouded thought. It is only under the equilibrium between tranquility and reality that one may contain a sound personna. This is where the concept of balance comes into play; all things are kept in moderation to the extent that there is not too much nor to little of one aspect. This theory is not only limited to material objects, balance of emotion and conceptual ideas is also an aspect crucial to the fluency of a peaceful lifestyle.

This is what I have been striding for recently: balance in life.

With the end of the school year close enough to taste, it is a time of transgression considering many aspects. A transgression from lower to upperclassman, a transition from spring time to summer vacation, to name a few. The time is ideal to begin the pursuit of discovery in the sense that I must find what keeps me content with the lifestyle that I carry out. To be content deals with this achievement of tranquility through balance and moderation, further leading down the path of ultimate enlightenment. With the overall goal of enlightenment in sight, it's all about further improving oneself from a personal standpoint and ridding of such nuisance aversions that distract from the straight path to true happiness. Of course, happiness is an opinionated concept that many define differently. The fact of the matter is as long as one is content, one is happy.

Just a short thought for a short week.
