Balance

The impatient human mind seeks 
order and symmetry, 
and when we don’t see it immediately, 
we are compelled to quickly impose it. 
 It’s when in our impatience 
we fail to look beyond the obvious 
that we rush in with our rigid 
regulations and hierarchies 
in an attempt to control 
what is already in balance; 
in the process, 
we tip things the other way 
and get the exact opposite 
of what we really want. 
 – Matthew May
