Why is life always Balanced?

This is not necessarily a question about Tai Chi, so let me explain.

I have noticed a definite trend in life that no matter what it will always be balanced. The more unbalanced your life is, the more unbalanced you mind will be and then you will be balanced (relatively). The more balanced your life is, the more balanced your mind will be but if your life is only conventionally balanced, your mind will not be. This may seem like a bunch of confusing nonsense but let me explain further.

For example, as a child, I was not allowed to play videogames. However, while my peers that were allowed became rather bored of them eventually, my Imagination never grew tired of videogames, and, from a certain point of view, I experienced more happiness from videogames than they ever did. Likewise, in Africa, the people who are always poor and fear death always think of America as a "sanctuary". On the other hand, those in America (like myself) grow to hate this place of Corruption.

This theory is not simply a remake of the "Grass is greener on the other side" paradigm. This is actually a theory, a theory that is trying to find what mechanism of our Brain forces balance, the Balance between two idealogies, the Real and the Metareal. In Life, there is always an annoying balance between these. The ones that have more Real, have less MetaReal. The ones that have more MetaReal have less Real. I realize this is a product of our brains, however, if this effect were to be rendered inoperative, I think it would have a greatly positive impact on society.

The World is Yours

I have been wondering the same thing now for years. The best thing I can come up with is that life has to be balanced, no matter how unbalanced something is, there is something to counteract and even it out. I'm not saying balanced as an individual, but as a whole. One man's (or woman's) life could be completely miserable, but there is someone's life that is completely opposite, and whether their path's meet up somewhere or not, I believe they are still connected.

As for why..... I don't think anyone has the right answer. I'm pretty sure that it's the same question as the meaning of life.

There is not one but many meanings of life. Yes though, I think this is one of the Meanings.

Actually this can easily be explained by mathemetics (there are alot of math courses about this) - but I'm going to write something else (I guess the same but in more stupid words...):

Think that you are in an 'absolute' world - and you know you are as a being in some ways, like perhaps; strong, wise, loving, forgiving aso. In an 'absolute' world you have nothing to compare yourself (except what not is) too... So to do this you have to experience yourself in a 'relative' world. This is the meaning of life - to just experience yourself.

Hm, as a kid my parents let my have all the candy I wanted to eat at anytime... I still eat it too much BUT my friends in school stole money from their parents to buy candy - I didn't have to do that Laughing

lol true, but what part of the brain is responsible for this?

I think, that when something goes wrong in your life, for example: studies, another part is better, like familiy, or friends. It is very hard to have every single aspect of your life going well, but it happens times to times, and is in those very little momments that you feel really, really.....good.

But nothing of that actually happens, it is only my brain that tells me where my life is balanced to.

My point is, that thank to my brain I can expierence that kind of great feeling, and it would be very sad if someone take it away from us, not because it will prevent us to suffer, but because it will make us 'less humans'.

Ok, I think I didn't make my point as clear as I wanted to, but nevermind.
