Is life always about balance?

Yes! It is. The world exists because there is a balance, a balance slightly in favor of stabilizing forces as opposed to destabilizing forces, a balance slightly in favor of matter as opposed to anti-matter, a balance slightly in favor of goodness as opposed to evil.

And so it is with life: it exists because there is a dynamic balance between love and hatred so that overall, love is more than hatred; because compassion is more than cruelty, because truth is more than falsehood. All these opposing forces are always and eternally here, but the net balance is always in favor of the forces of goodness as opposed to the forces of evil. That’s why the world exists, that’s why life exists.
