Between Balance and a Lost Passion

“Everything happens for a reason” say most of the people, and generally for good. Life usually seems to have played wrong (hard) on you, but at the end, it brings you to better places and brighter states. Usually, I agree. Not because of the analogy of it, but mostly because there is nothing else you could have done. You could have only done what you did, because the interaction between you and the particular circumstances of a specific moment, made things and events happen. And for some reason, I deeply believe that somehow, life brings you always towards what is best for you. Out of a conversation with a friend, I had added to my belief that everything happens also in the sake of balance. If you are too good, you will meet evil to internally find a better balance. Then I stopped for a minute and thought about those creative people who have had their creations lost or destroyed all in one event… were they too focus on creating? Were they creating too much that they needed to face destruction to learn that… nothing is eternal, although everything is? Then again, we browsed in our memories for friends who had passed through those kinds of situations and none (can’t remember the exception) had ever taken back his/her creative activities of pursued any further the talents that were victims of that lose. Some of them, being excellent at what they used to do, became couch potatoes and, as almost all of them, dedicated their times to completely different activities.
