22 July 2022 – There is a natural balance in health and natural health is balanced. Any extreme seems unhealthy. For example, mania or depression. There is a balance that is best for life. When the pendulum of trait swings wide, an unhealthy condition typically exists. Too little or too much, both tend to be unhealthy.

The further the pendulum strays from neutral the more damage that is done and the faster it is done. Balance should be maintained in all areas of life as much as possible: mental, emotional, physical, social and spiritual. We should strive for a balance.

When we look at this in another way, think of this in terms of the consumption of an object as it burns: the brighter it burns, the faster it is consumed. When the pendulum is swung far wide, you are burning bright. When you burn hot and bright, you will burnout. You will be consumed.
