One must maintain a balance of life. Going to the extreme of one side or the other only causes grievances in the end. Rarely do we keep ourselves in check, and let our desires and extremes rule us for who we are not.
When there is too much respect, there is no familiarity.
When there is too much familiarity, there is no respect.
When favor is extreme, resentment comes.
When love is excess, hatred arises.
Too great in justice, becomes injustice.
What you possess, will eventually vanish.
What rises must fall.
This is the way of balance.
Luck does not carry on, and misfortune will soon arise. It is a balance in life. What you lack you make up for it in something else. What you gain, you will lose in another aspect. It is always indirectly, that we don’t notice this balance. What comes, will eventually go. Keep things in moderation, and you will not grieve. This is the art of balance.
