Balance is an illusion.
It is always falling this way or that, just not very far.

An unstable balance is an illusion. My recommendation is that you brush up
on the mathmatics which pertain to vehicle controls.

Stasis doesn't really exist, but balance does.

For example, an ecosystem stays in balance when the numbers of
predators and prey is in balance. One predator may die off but another
may fill its niche -- so there is change, but balance is maintained.

The concept of sustainability is a valid one -- as long as relative
balance exists, the system can continue indefinitely.

Of course, certain "free market" propagandists will try to tell you
that sustainability is impossible because change must always occur.
Obviously a system can grow and change and still be sustainable. They
are conveniently (mis)defining sustainability as stasis to suit their
political agenda.

In reality, sustainability, or balance, is an obtainable goal in any
system. Systems can both be dynamic and be balanced.

So what's a stable balance?--a brick lying in the middle of a parking lot?

No.

Balance is a version of karma. For every action etc. It is a dynamic
state , for nothing stands still.

While you are sitting on your butt reading this, your energy is
accumulating in your fat cells.Our metabolism slows. When you become
active again, the balancing effect takes place.

On the same basis, relationships can never become disharmonious (the
word is a tautology in itself). The harmony just takes on a wider
perspective, where you get 'stretched' and are able to see things with
greater vision.
