Happy must be geninuely happy, dun said happy, but deep inside very unhappy
i can say the same what... u can have a ugly body, full of fats and sagging down body, but armpit itchy --> now which would u choose? good body with itchy armpit or bad body with itchy armpit?
u can be super poor and living in absolute poverty, but the illness and sickness keep haunting you and the worry of losing ur wife keep hammering your mind, how is ur son future is also a maddness, but on the other hand, u can be super rich careless about what happen tomorrow, mind more free and easy going
what i am saying is that, rich or poor is a matter, but being worried, being sick and full of illness is an entirely matter... so why choose being poor? cuz media always tie the notion of "poor but happy, rich but unhappy"?

So Itchyarmpit.....you didn't say "career or love" in your post, so which is it for you?
"first, to find balance is NOT to have half of the good and half of the bad, but IS having ALL of the good and NONE of the bad, that is balance"
I don't think this makes sense.
why do u find balance?
not sure about u, but to me it is because balance is the best for me...
lets say for balanced diet, u dun say i am having a balanced diet because in my meals i eat some saturated fats and some vitamins, there is a mixture of both! so it is balanced!
instead you say, because there is all of the good things here, the appropriate amount of calcium, protein etc..
urmm if u read carefully i did mention "take all of the things u want and desire and none of those u dont", which means both career and love... i am sure there is a way..
to those who say what i believe in is impossible, then at least try to be close to it, u dun aim for the bottom do u?
oh 1 more thing, i didnt make a stand (career or love) is because that would only be "voting", which doesnt help TS because u dun expect him to "oh, 5 votes for career, 10 votes for love, so i am going for love"... he makes his own decision, i am just here to share my 2 cents worth in hope i could help...

Sure it doesn't have to half half, nor more better than worse, but all of one thing and none of another is not a balance. Your diet example illustrates that already.
I'm actually not clear on the points you're tying to make that relates to the topic in the first place.

No mah, I am rich but also happy, we seems to be in different channels, hello, there is no such thing as good all the way, be it poor or rich, and for your info, i dun watch media or be influence by it, everyday, I see the real facts of peoples, their life and the suffering they gone thru, be it rich or poor.
for the poor, poor alone is already a bad thing for them, so they care less on health and more so as they cannot afford it, as for the rich, holding on to being rich is also a problem and bad thing for them, and their ever worry of dying earlier and unable to enjoy the richness is also another bad thing for them, end up they see this doctor, that specialist and takes whatever medicine that can give them a prolong healthy life, but end up dying same same as poor.
I think you go on and scratch yr armpit better lah

i'm trying and this is your response.
i now agree with angel's final sentence.
We are human. not trees. life doesnt have to stick to either career or love.. coz the real world doesnt work it a fixed way. We are flexible and change our life course according to plans and certain circumstances. It is possible to strike balance. but question is are you willing to put in efforts to plan ur life? and often such efforts result in sacrifices.

well, trees is also a living thing, it bear fruit too, but first, it need to nurture and tender well, plant on a perfect enviroment with water and sunlight, its sure to bear good fruits, human are in a way similar, you need to be properly nurtured and guided, work hard and smart with a good heart and mind, you are sure to become a good person and live happily. But if you are rubbishly brought up, lazy and like to spent and parties, then you will end up with a problematic and unhealthy life.
