Here you will find some of the greatest quotes about Life balance.

The balance trap

There are many cases where the fringe extreme ends (one or both) are the best place to be, and trying to balance in the middle can get you wrecked.

There is nothing in the universe, be it in physics, math, or Logic, that tells us balance is sacred.

Your thoughts and emotions fight for influence at any given point in time. Building an Intuition about how this whirlwind occurs is impossible without this all-important principle: If you don’t want to think about something, think about something else.

Some stuff you cannot change and you should give zero fucks. Some you can, and if it’s worth it, you should give enough for the change to happen. But to care and not do anything is the classic Sheep move, the worst of the worst for the present and future. And this hell comes with balance.

Not knowing what to do and not having the strength to do it are different root problems.

We have countless spectrums where clearly all the Joy is at one end. How much empathy should we have? I’d say as much as possible. How many bioweapons should we have? I’d say exactly zero.

Self-help advice widely uses the Bullshit word “balance”. By implying that somehow the best amount of everything is always in the middle when all evidence says it’s usually not, is not just irresponsible, it’s harmful to individuals and society.

In the Game of Self, the main quantifiable thing is the amount of fucks given. Where is the place for the overhyped balance? In the Game of Life.
