Can you lose EVERYTHING by losing ONE THING?

Question

Can you lose EVERYTHING by losing ONE THING?
amp what is that thing?

Answer

BALANCE. Its incredibly important to me to keep my scales balanced. Name any even quotapparentquot duality, amp I need to keep them in equal measure. What comes first to mind is logic amp emotion. Thats a BIG one. Concern for others, amp concern for myself. Objectivity amp subjectivity. brWhen I quottilt,quot Im totally ambivalant. Im in conflict. I cant make wise decisions about anything Im pulled in two different directions amp no good to myself or anyone. It can actually be frightening I have lost MYSELF. Can one lose more than that?brSince its so important to me, one would think I could consistently maintain balance, but I cant. At times, something just seems to snap, amp the world is upside down. Fortunately, this doesnt last for very long. If I permanently lost balance, yes, I would lose everything. brbrEdit All the things mentioned in the other answers love, integrity, honesty, self respect, hope, dignity, goals...are only possible when one has BALANCE.
