Balance

Through the course of my lifetime, I have played hard and worked hard with much passion. I learned along the way. Some of which experience taught me well, others experience polished. Generally, those who go to school spend two decades of their lives in it. Well, there are of course the less fortunate ones who never went to school and the more unfortunate ones who decided to drop out and be a drop out of society as well. There are those who continue on forever searching, learning and glued to printed paper perhaps ... the scholars, professors who miss out on one half of the whole deal living their life vicariously through someone else's experiences. Not all we learn, we remember and as we grow older, we do forget a lot of things that we've tucked away. They are there and that's what makes us unique. And underneath all these is CHANGE ... the changes we all go through that which always lead to refinement whether it be for the good or for worse. It is finetuned. When one chooses to be a con man, his skills get polished too. It's just a matter of the old cliche, the battle between good and bad ... yin and yang ... day and night ... black and white.

Balance.

It is when no matter how ugly, unfair and terrible the situation may be ... one sees the beauty of it all as how good and wonderful it really is in the end. Everything falls into its proper places. After every storm, although how wicked or how high the tsunamis get ... everything settles down and there's always the sun shining through.

God bless us all.
