What is balance?

In the past few days, I've had a few realization moments. A few moments of weight reduction and a few meditation sessions. A few moments of the mind burning in the body.

Recently I've been having difficulties with stress and tension again. Each night I spend hours on relieving the tension and relaxing the body. Each day tension builds up for no apparent reason.

There's a part of my mind that gets stressed out on anything that annoys it. It would just want to be left at peace. There's another part of the mind that has bullied it a lot during all those years. It enjoys bullying the other part that easily becomes hurt. It's weak .. why is it weak when it doesn't like being hurt. It shouldn't be weak, then. Anyway, both of these parts of the mind are afraid .. just afraid of different things.

Today I started to wonder: "What is balance?" Asked sister and we discussed the subject a little. A little thought experiment:
  • A system of equal and opposing forces could be considered in balance
  • Let's say there's a particle that swings in a potential well, going from one side to the other, passing through the point of balance in between. The symbol of infinity. The system could be considered to be in balance, because the fluctuations average out on a broader scale.
  • The same could be said about a cluster of 2 particles with opposite signs - they balance each-other out. Neither of the particles is in balance, but the system as a whole is in balance.
  • Now, what if we take the typical good vs. bad system. For more fun, let's define good as peace and unconditional love, let's define bad as its opposite. Isn't peace and unconditional love an indication of balanced energy? However, since they're opposites, then between the two opposites there's also a point of balance and moreover, the system itself is in balance because it's a sum of two equal opposites.
This led me to an idea of an infinite fractal system with recursion that doesn't make sense when I try to write it. Never mind.

Haven't seen anything special in the dreams lately.
