balance.

to enjoy something,
but not be swayed by it,
to notice and raise an eyebrow,
but not a furore,
to take a hit and hit back,
but not rage,
to rise above daily banalities,
and yet remain passionate.

Balance, something one strives for, and so hard, but rarely achieved.

would balance be achieved if we are in perfect balance?

Jake said...

the goal i think is balance, not the process of acheiving it.

i before e except after c.
lol. after achieving balance, what are you balancing against?

Jake said...

nothing, the system shuts down when it reaches its goal. the journeys over :-) the purpose done. and hnce this is why i think, imperfection and choice exists in the first place. cos once something is laid out or perfect, and wham! no more exixtence ....

Ahem.... sorry to butt into your musings but I cannot for the life of me enjoy something and not be swayed by it. Hey insufferable fellow when will u talk in prose???

Jake said...

haha! yeah prose.
i find it easier to dish out some random 'free verse', than writing about something worthwhile. that is something i will pick up from some people hint hint who do a bang up job :-)
and to justify, what i wrote, more on that ..later ..
