Balance
Things I've tried to balance at some point in my life -
- Mind, body and soul
- Growing up and being in touch with your inner child.
- Understanding something and having faith
- Chaos and tranquility
- I and the world
- Family and friends
- Thought and action
- Thinking slow and acting fast (and vice versa)
- Thinking wide and thinking deep
- Rules and exceptions
- Listening and speaking up
- Wisdom and craziness
- Balance and extremes
- Man and machine
- Courage and fear
- Change and stability
- Cutting your losses and persevering
- Form and function
- War with yourself and peace with others (and vice versa)
- Winning and losing
- Losing the war but not losing the lesson
- Poetry and irony
- Switching on and shutting down
- Speed and precision
- Consumption and production
- Giving and taking
- Young and old
- Harmony and distress
- Structure and chaos
- Black and white
- Crying alone and laughing with others (and vice versa)
- Losing your self and finding yourself
- Solitude and being comfortable with each other's silence
- Independence and support
- Simplicity and complexity
- Falling in love with someone and loving yourself more every day
- Zero to one and one to infinity (and back to zero)
- Freedom and restraint
- Love and indifference
- Knowledge and ignorance
- Size and agility
- Experience and fresh blood
- Hello and goodbye
- Half empty and half full
- Making your own mistakes and learning from others’ mistakes
- Memories and dreams
- Learning and teaching
- Life and death (and living on even after you die)
- Feeling complete and staying incomplete
