A Short Meditation on Balance and Fear
A Vagabond Voices writing (and living) prompt
Of late, it has been hard for me to find a balance.
There are my responsibilities as a father, being a sort of perpetual student, my desire to dedicate more time to write, spend time outdoors riding bicycles or running. Too many forces applied to my persona!
There are so many competing interests and forces affecting our balance.
What determines the ability of an object to balance itself in existence?
There are always forces to be applied against a counterforce to create balance. And we find our balance in the harmony of the tension created by those forces. How many of these pressures can we tolerate to act upon us?
The problem is not that a person may not be affected by multiple forces at once. But once we place too many vectors into the equation, it is hard to say the intensity in which an object or a person will move.
At times, multiple vectors applied in opposite directions result in the object not moving.
