Who holds your hand and keeps you balanced?
Life is a tightrope and most of us are just struggling not to fall off.
Is it all about balance? We could play and play and play but when we don’t work, we lose any sense of achievement. Even professional players turn their games into work.
We could experience pleasurable moment after pleasurable moment but without pain, those moments would never feel quite as good as they could.
We could eat ice cream, steak, pizza and chocolate biscuits all day, every day but balance would become a struggle both physically and mentally with all of that sugar in our body.
We could do without foods that make our mouth water and replace them all with healthy alternatives but if our mouth has no water, it is dry and life might feel a bit dry too.
We could earn all of the money in the world but if we have no-one to share it with or we run out of things to spend it on, we’ll feel poorer than the family without a t-shirt to their name.
If we find balance in all walks of life, the tightrope will not seem so daunting but who is able to do that? Some get closer than others and that’s usually because somebody is walking on steadier ground next to them, holding their hand.
