Imbalance

Maintaining a balance when the tidal forces pull from multiple directions is next to impossible.

It comes down to pushing ahead and making sacrifices – cutting off things invested in and valued in exchange for mere survival.

“Selling out” is what they call it.

If one can hedge and at least thrust such actions still into a positive forward motion, perhaps one can still view this as successful.

I am not sure in times such as these that having high standards is a mental-emotional benefit.

The perceived losses at values and gains unmet can feel soul crushing to the point of self labeling as a “failure.”
