Introduction
Speak not, lie hidden, and conceal
the way you dream, the things you feel.
Deep in your spirit let them rise
akin to stars in crystal skies
that set before the night is blurred:
delight in them and speak no word.
How can a heart expression find?
How should another know your mind?
Will he discern what quickens you?
A thought once uttered is untrue.
Dimmed is the fountainhead when stirred:
drink at the source and speak no word.
Live in your inner self alone
within your soul a world has grown,
the magic of veiled thoughts that might
be blinded by the outer light,
drowned in the noise of day, unheard...
take in their song and speak no word.

Balance is all we need.
Extreme measures may be needed for survival but balance is needed for sustenance. One can't sustain without surviving but one SHOULDN'T survive without being able to sustain. Therefore, we need to have a balance between maintaining balance and taking extreme measures. You eat too much. Obesity, Diabetes, Death. You eat too little. Malnutrition, Starvation, Death. You study too hard. Stress. You study too little. Anxiety. A little imbalance in an ecological niche, like a rise in temperature, can upset a whole system, leading to the endangerment of natural species and an invasion of exotic and alien species. From a little rat to a whole universe, almost everything requires balance.
As humans, we are supposed to be able to adapt accordingly to new situations and face challenges and adversity naturally. Yet, almost all of us have our own comfort zones, which we tend to overlook or not appreciate. It takes a drastic change to upsets this sense of balance for us to realise the importance of that balance. What I mean, is that even though balance is extremely necessary for us, this particularly drastic change is what that enables us to maintain that balance.
The problem with humanity is that we do not learn from that drastic change. It has to take a long time for realisation and foresight. Even worse, in some situations, realisation and awareness do not even take place. We haven't learnt from the countless genocides and the pointless wars. That's Us. And then there is global warming. We need to do something.
What, we know. How, we also know. When, we don't know.
I watched 'An Inconvenient Truth' today and I think that is a good movie. :) Watch it!!
