At any given time, most of us seem to lean toward the dark or the light. And how far we lean seems to fluctuate for most of us...
It bothers me, though, when I feel pressure (often from myself) to pretend like I'm always leaning toward the light. That pressure, I think, sometimes makes me over-emphasize my feelings. It sort of takes away the ability to simply "be".
Unfortunately, many times people around us aren't comfortable with letting us "be"... That, too, makes life difficult.

My heart grieves with yours linda, I suppose thats why Ive come here to PC, because I just cant abide watching the suffering lonely without doing something, even ill prepared, to express that I care and would like to help anyone in need. Ive been there. Im sure that's why youre here too.
Getting a bit off topic, but as for balance, something Ive noticed as Ive begun to spiral out of my depression is that the precepts of living in balance is another way of saying its ok to be down. For me, it isnt so I have tried to move away from having balance and try to move more "upwards".
Im sorry that you or any of us have felt uncomfortable at anytime in being ourselves
