It's Simple Physics.

It's sort of sad how one mistake can have so many repercussions in our lives.. I said long ago that I'm not a perfect person.. I make more than my share of mistakes.. and have been wrong countless times... and I know I'll make more mistakes as I keep living. A lot of times we really have no clue what we're doing when we make decisions to do or say things... but we go ahead and do or say them anyway.  In any case, we have to learn from our mistakes.. and not do them again. I think the biggest problem with the lives of most people.. is they don't have a balance....and maybe stupid mistakes are made trying to achieve that balance.. I for one have let one idea or another dominate my life for a very long time.. and it seems like I am always off kilter. Maybe I should become a Buddhist and try to work toward becoming a zen master.. the idea of perfect harmony in our lives.. yeah... right.. My life will almost certainly never have a complete balance.. but it's still something to work toward.  We sometimes tend to think we are on the right path when we lift ourselves up.. and it's a good thing to raise yourself to a degree.. but boasting and bragging is not the answer.. you can't bring yourself up with drugs either.. although I have never.. and would never try that.. it's all just a temporary fix and throws ourselves out of balance.. a person's harmonious life cannot come from external sources.. but we have to find the balance within ourselves.. It gets difficult sometimes when there are so many external forces that try to push us one way or another.. sometimes we lose focus and make our mistakes.  But I think this new idea of yin and yang might be the solution... I'm still a Christian.. and nothing will change that.. but I am always open to new ideas to incorporate into my life to enhance it.  I've always said that if something comes up.. it must go down.. still a part of my basic belief.. even the laws of physics obey this.. "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" Sometimes we tend to act.. without considering the reaction.. or that there will be no consequences.. but there always are. Sometimes we are left with the effects of that action or decision for a long time..  The balance in my life is still in complete turmoil.. but I think maybe it's time to concentrate on that.. health.. hobbies.. job.. whatever is within our power to change.. we sit and complain about how our lives are topsy-turvy and then when we think about it.. it comes down to the balance.. we focus on one part of our lives and forget the few things that aren't so bad.. but still people like to focus on the negative influences.. if something is negative in your life.. remove it.. or try to.. but when you do.. be aware.. there are always reactions waiting to happen. Be prepared to deal with them. It's simple physics.
