Are people a balance? If so, how is the balance preserved?

Answer 1

Mother Nature has her ways. If we get too far off one side or the other in anything, She finds ways to pull us back. Take the physical balance of the human body standing erect as the metaphor for much else. How is the balance preserved? By being aware of the forces needed to maintain it, and by monitoring and feedback mechanisms that preserve it.

Humans cannot stand upright without being aware of their center of gravity, however intuitively or consciously, as is witnessed by the lack of balance that comes with excessive intoxication. You need a certain amount of mind. We do not sleep standing up, although clearly animals with four legs can, by just learning to lock their legs into place and letting the conscious control become muscular control.

So it is with all that we do. And balance is preserved in an ecology the same way. We need to be aware of the center of gravity; the things that are most important. And we need to know where we are in relation to that in order to make progress. In order to be upright. Which is part of why "upright" takes on a moral element in our language.

So how do we maintain balance in ecology for the planet? Work with Mother Nature, not against her. Learn her ways and how to make the most effective use of good farm land, sun and rain, and people who are capable of much if they are not too busy being messed with by government and mass media. People who have balance in their personal lives are able to be a part of achieving balance in the world as a whole. They make balanced, well-thought out decisions, and they have good, balanced moral values.

Mother Nature prefers the sensible and routine to the dramatic. Dramatic is for when things get out of whack. Or to test the strength where that is necessary.

Answer 2

quite vague in your query.... but rich in possibilities...

if you mean by quantity (population), quite obvious, women are more in control. more women but less men and yet, the balance still holds one is to one (less of course, the sexuality issue). also, death accounts for the balance preservation.

if you mean by statute, men are more in command. there are more men holding power than women leaders. and common knowledge, tradition has held men in power and women (being broader in mind), just let it be...

if you mean by traits (character), it's the matter of self-control, mind over matter. if one succumb's to his desire, the outcome justifies his action. good or bad, righteous or not, the end justifies the mean.

Answer 3

what do you mean by balanced? like your homeostasis? if so then keeping up with your body is the first step. good nutrition and exercise is good for your psyche.
