What happens if you limp to the left side? To compensate for the imbalance, tension will form on the right side of the body, followed by muscle spasms. Years of limping will damage the joints.
Any misalignment is unnatural. Friction, pathology, and wear increase. The body, organization, and state — all systems degrade in the same way when the tilt of the central axis is ignored for too long.
It might seem like the 'body' is just slightly asymmetrical. You could grab a crutch, or better yet, an imposing cane. Or simply keep a palanquin nearby.
The problem is that you’re challenging everything—gravity, time, entropy. Maintaining your integrity gets more expensive with each passing day.
Remember spinning on the carousel as a child? You can’t hold on at the edge—you’ll lose your grip. But at the center, you could sit for hours.
But what is the center? It’s the point where polarities are balanced, and energies are harmonized. Nothing is forgotten, but everything is accounted for.
Yet, since this is where extremes meet, there’s argument, conflict, and even explosion in one step. It takes a certain maturity not to fall into the abyss, but to rise above contradictions.
Thus, the destructive dilemma turns into a constructive paradox.
Sincerely yours,
