harhar! aq ay nagbabalik!! :)) akala nyu siguro nagattempt aq n mag suicide through overdose nuh?? tsk tsk. of course! ...NOT! ahaha :)) this is just a title :))
so yeah. why overdose? let us start the real deal now shall we? ;)
They taught us that anything in excess is not good. Excess water causes diarrhea, excess food causes obesity, excess freedom causes lots of troubles, excessive friends leads to more problems, excessive use of drugs causes addiction, excess reading causes destruction of vision.
So as excess pain causes depression, excess happiness causes what they call "spoiled bratt", excess self-pity leads to even a lot more self-pity and a dark outlook in life.
Excess money causes evil, excess faith causes obsession, excessive emotions causes emotional disturbance, excessive problems causes high rates of mental disability.
Excessive intake of salty foods causes "sakit sa bato" while excessive sweets and sugars causes diabetes. Excessive exposure to light causes skin darkening, excessive laziness causes obesity too and of course, much more prone to stress when forced to work. Excess work causes health problems and stress.
Excess love could bring craziness and obsession. Excess kindness causes you to be taken for granted. Excessive maturity makes you look older, excessive childishness leads people to be irritated by you.
Excessive pride causes more problems than you think and will lead you to depression too.
So, what is equilibrium? It is maintaining the balance, as homeostasis is meant for maintaining the internal and external balance of animals, our life should be on equal weights on both sides of the libra :)
what happens if it wasn't balance?
Simple. We won't appreciate the simple beauty of life and the wonderful complexities of the interrelations among different species and non-living things alike. When the balance of our lives is disturbed, we fail to live.
How do we maintain the balance? By a special skill not everyone is capable of doing. By being simple and able to appreciate the small things, like the wind that brush gently against your skin, or the sun that shines on you everyday, or the sun and the moon which contributed to knowing the passing of days, by being able to see extraodinary things beneath the ordinary faces, by being contented with what you have, and by being patient and faithful that the thing you deserve will soon come for you.
It is not really hard. Though sometimes, we find it difficult, especially when we really want something so strongly with which we were deprived of, we can, if we wanted to. Simplicity is not only the key, but its also the door to a happy, carefree life
