Asymmetric balance
Author: Gilbert Chen
During our daily life, “Balance” is a word that we always mentioned. We look for the ideal day by day and year by year. Balance of eating makes health body. Balance of psychology makes fortunate atmosphere. Balance of working reduces complaint. While all of the events work as our demands, balance in our life, work and spirit. Our life will be bright and significant.
Life of human beings is combined by physical body and spirits. We learned the balance of giving and receiving from our parents when we were young, such as to eat for grow-up, eat vegetable for health. It’s physical balance. To be hard studies for good score, to have good manners for teacher’s love. It’s spiritual balance. The diversify society brought out, due to people wants to have the balance of giving and receiving. We hope we can receive more when we devote more. Setting goal and reaching goal are the motivation of our progress. We work hard to achieve the KPI target as we set earlier. The life of human beings keeps progress in material civilization. Is the progress also makes people virtue and friendly in spirits? The answer is no. Material technology can be saved and studied, and the knowledge keeps going generation by generation. It’s different for spiritual field. Beginning from people born and end by death, some people did very good jobs. But it’s individual achievement only. Even there were many talent people in the history. After the times, it became paper, not progress. When John D Rockefeller died, his business talent was also gone with his life. The history of human beings was cycling of upside down. It was better for some good leaders and vice versa. The society repeats histories by generations, and it can’t do better as times going.
Which goal is people ask for the whole life? Fortunate and Virtue are normally the answer in religion. We do so many things to seek happiness as travel to vista points, party with friends. We always think the way as balance of giving and receiving. When we get the balance of giving and receiving, we feel satisfy. Otherwise, we feel painful. People lives at the cycle of different emotions. Society moves forward by the unbalance cycle. And repeat the cycle of prosperous and decline.
Asymmetric balance is a kind of self-reflection. God gives mankind a free thinking brain and free developing space. Different live ways make life with colors. Everyone has same start- Born and same end- Death. Only difference is processes. It said “To success should be striving. But it’s not ensure to be successful by striving.” While we don’t set the equalization of giving and receiving, Life should haveeternalhappiness. Mother Teresa worked for poor people the whole life. During her life, there were so many criticize, even she did all of the things only by the thought of giving. She should get more and more applaud. At that situation, she loved and insisted to do the same thing- Charity. For that kind of virtue, “Missionaries of Charity” grew up soon and help many poor people continuously in the world.
The world is disordered due to people asks receiving always. We can’t change the situation by big group as Country. We do have a rational and self-reflection spirits. I tell myself “To cut off the relation of giving and receiving in my mind.” Then I can find the eternal happiness and satisfaction. Hopefully, the thinking can also be recognized by people in PSI. Therefore, company will be full of positive energy and bright inside.
