Yes, AniManiac, I too know the benefits of the Buddhist principle of balance. I try to achieve it.
I can't help it - I'm a dyed-in-the-wool pragmatist!

If y'all knew me IRL, you would know what a joke it is for me to be espousing balance. I'm the last person in the world that anyone would call balanced. Instead they use words like "rock star" and tell me that "if you can't do it, none of us can." Flattering, but only partially accurate - living up to my own reputation is extremely difficult at times, and no one sees that side of the story.

I know I need more balance. But I have to admit, I love living at the extremes, so it's one of the major challenges that I struggle with every day.
Thanks for this!
