Yin-Yang

In a way, I do believe in karma of a sort. Well, no, that's perhaps still not the right word. That is, I believe that there is a balance to everything -- I believe that if your life is in an ideal balance, there will be an equal amount of "good" and "bad" things that happen to you. I believe that you really can have too much of a "good thing," and in my life, I always expect all the good things to be countered with bad ones, yet vice versa as well. I never want an extreme number of bad things to happen to me, but on the other hand, I am actually just as uncomfortable with an extraordinary amount of good things happening to me. I very much expect both from day to day, week to week, month to month, year to year...

The thing I've pondered about lately is... sometimes, I'm having an especially good day, for example. I often wonder if it's the good counterpart that's coming first before an eminent bad one soon, OR if it's the good counterpart following up after a bad one, like the clouds parting for days after in the clear, blue wake of a terrible storm. You can't always tell, can you?
