"Happiness is a place between too little and too much."
~ Finnish Proverb ~
Life seeks balance,
so when things swing off wildly in one lopsided direction,
we can be sure at some point they will be swinging back around.
And the goal,
perhaps,
is to live as close to center as possible
so as to avoid
the jolting
back and forth.
Balance and stability live between the extremes.
