Balance

Life is about balance

Everything happens with reason

The good

The bad

One simply cannot be without the other

The bad teaches us lessons

The good gives us hope

But without having felt the bad

You would never appreciate the good

Without having the good

The bad would seem all consuming

Balance

There can be no enjoyment of sunshine

Without night

No light without darkness

For when there is light

There are shadows as well

Showing the dark exists without the light

Just as good exists within evil

As evil exists within good

The universe will balance the scales eternally

For one simply will not be without the other

Balance

A lesson in appreciation

A lesson in understanding

A lesson in gratitude

Understanding these teachings

Brings appreciation

And seeing the good within the bad

Or the bad within the good

Deepens life and its meanings
