What happen when you take one plate of a balance away??? The other side falls of course...
To be at equilibrium, it has to have the plate, of the same weight. Where the pointer will be at zero. That's a good thing, for the balance that is.
It is often how fast we forgot this simple equipment can teach us many of life's values. Balance, is something thing that many don't realise how important it is in life. And how that equal weight of the plate can be a metaphor for many things.
Like love, responsibility, eagerness, rewards etc... How much rewards equals to how much effort puts in. How much tenderness you get from your partner is how much love you put in (though some may not agree). You'll get my point if you read on.
Often than not, the balance tends to dip on one side. That's where the ambiguous statement comes in. To reach a state of equilibrium, one has to study the amount of weight that was put up on the opposite side, carefully add weights or to slowly remove the weights on your side of the plate. It cant be more nor less... if equilibrium is to be reach.
So how then, does this becomes a metaphor for our lives???
In relationships, many don't understand how come they don't work out with each other. That's probably because many don't want to listen or are not sensitive to the symptoms that your partner is giving out. Or have you not been noticing that you are putting in too much??? Not getting that desire 'rewards' could be that your side of the balance is dipping...
Think about it!
