MAINTAIN A BALANCE
Athletes perform a show called tightrope walking. In this, two poles are set up in a field, and a thick rope is stretched between them. A boy stands on the rope on his feet, holding a long pole in both hands. Using this pole to keep his balance, he walks along the tight rope from one end to the other.
This is not just about the tightrope walker. In this world, everyone has to do the same. When a person walks on the ground, every moment they are like a tightrope walker. If they lean too much to the right while walking, they will fall to the right. And if they lean too much to the left, they will fall to the left. A person keeps a balance on both sides while walking, which is why they successfully stay on their path. Otherwise, they would fall here or there on the ground.
The same goes for life overall. In this world, a person’s entire life is like walking a tightrope. Here, one must keep a balance between various conflicting demands. Success means maintaining this balance, and failure means losing it.
In family life, a person must maintain a balance among various relatives. In social life, one needs to keep a balance between different groups. In international affairs, leaders must balance between different countries and governments. No aspect of human life is immune to the challenge of maintaining this balance.
To successfully maintain this balance, a person must live a thoughtful life. They should stay cautious at all times and continuously self-assess. It’s important to live beyond biases by considering both themselves and others. Those who practice mutual respect and consideration will find success in this world.
