Love Byte # 4 - A Delicate Balance

I had an odd fascination for the game of see-saw back in school .. It amazed me how such a harmless swing had the power to scare me out of my wits ..I mean its fun as long as you're able to swing up and down freely but then the minute you have someone heavier or lighter than you , it becomes a game of the tormentor and the tormented .. One still derives sadistic pleasure in being the tormentor but then its a lop sided game and soon its no longer fun ..

Oddly enough , same is the case with Love ..It doesn't matter if you're courting , dating or married to each other , Love is a delicate and daily balancing act where both partners have to put in an equal amount of effort in the relationship to keep it from teetering out of balance ..so while some days it can apply to simply balancing your life with your partner , other days it can apply to your family and the acquired family , and yet other days it can be balancing your friends or work or even your children.. Its always a different balancing act each day , what matters is how you maintain the equilibrium ..how you share life's burden and load , how you move forward without leaving the other behind ..

A healthy and balanced relationship is after all about taking equal turns at being the tormentor and the tormented. Wouldn't you agree ?
