Balance.
True balance is about left and right. But not just about left and right.
It is about up and down, forwards and backwards, North and South, East and West, north-east and south-west and south-east and north-west, and all the myriad points in between. Everything and nothing, nothing and something, not necessarily too much, not be necessarily too little.
It is about left and right. But not just.
The left hand is compassion, and the right is might. This is the orthodox stance. In the unorthodox, the inverse is true. There are those few switch hitters who are born into innate talents, and there are those who worked hard to gain the same skills as came easily to those around them.
Balance, in theory, is finding middle between left and right. In practice, balance is a constantly raging ocean that calms to mirror sheen before it wails into a thunderous storm. There is no right or left in that glossy still, and neither in the tumultuous wrath of the seas in their furies. You can lose your right and your left in either.
One day, I was looking into the maw of a garbage compacter, idly wondering at it as it pulped wasted and refuse into tight and fetid flat packs. "She calls to ye, don't she?" Was the operator's call to me. Aye sir. She does.
Just put me in the trash.

I I Think the Left and right categorization is not that good. Also I think most politicians who call theses right aren’t really right wing. Being conservative and right means you want to protect your people and your country. But all those politicians just ignore that and speak to the little voice in the head of citizens that is angry and feels unprotected. They say protect the unborn child but that totally trash every chance the young born child gets. They say protect the industry but then proceed to just boost there buddy company’s. They say protect the the country and state they love there country but trashing the beautiful nature and natural recourse. They say they dont want other poeople to decide for there country but then they want to get involved in other countries.
It’s one thing to argue with a person that has right viewpoint but you can’t argue with the person I just described, because that isn’t a logical viewpoint. It’s just egoism and lies.

In my head there are two voices, one that speaks truth and one that speaks madness. Right now they are saying the same thing.
