tension is essential to existence, conflicts serve a purpose with respect to the greater system
making choices is difficult but one can always start with the fact that for the question "what should i do/how do i solve this problem?" the answer is always "something other than what you're currently doing"

i think everyone could benefit from doing the opposite of whatever they're currently doing

there is no "balance", you just keep oscillating to and fro until you die because this oscillation is life itself

i don't trust "moderate" arguments in favor of "balance"
there is no center like there is no center of the universe; the function of this pretense of a moderate position is to hide the *direction* the argument is pointing to

if you think you're too rational, try to be more emotional. if you feel like you're too emotional, then try to be more rational. just do the other thing
if you're tired of living in the city, try to move to the countryside. if "trad" living sucks, try to move to a big city. just do the other thing
just do something else. DO SOMETHING ELSE!
if you feel like you're not doing anything then try to do something that would count as doing something. if you feel like you're doing too much then stop doing anything
at any particular place you're in, you will see other people on the other side. always many other people on many other sides
they are the enemy. fight them
if they are not the enemy, join them
there is no equilibrium, no goal, no destination other than death
this is why the best way to give advice is not to recommend a particular decision, which is inherently judgmental and restricting, but just opening up possible paths, which is the opposite of those things
the first step of freedom is knowing that you can DO SOMETHING ELSE
"why can't we just get along?" no. no no no we must fight
we must fight because you want to do something and i want to do something else

it is critically important and absolutely pointless to oscillate between extremes

life is just moving around until you die

you get born, other people deal with your shit until you have to do it yourself
then you do it yourself until you can't and hopefully someone'll be there to deal with you again
