Equilibrium

There is a balance to everything, a perfect combination of basic needs and unique demands that make one's life whole. Having the right portions of rest and nutrition would cover the "basic needs". But we demand different things to feel fulfilled. There are those who long for a good company and a warm hearted laugh, others strive for excellence and pour their hearts and souls into their careers. Some, and I have sadly seen quite a few, proceed with no demands, no passion that drives them towards fulfilment. Those have a certain tranquillity to them, not the good kind. Like they gave up on life all together or that they shouldn't bother giving it a shot to start with.
