Balance = stagnation.
Stagnation = no change.
No change = no growth.
No growth = might as well be dead.

Now, I'm not saying balance is a useless concept. There are individual aspects of eveything with which one must achieve balance, but using Balance as a whole philosopy, I feel, leads to an eventual status quo if one is successful, but then too much balance can leave you unprepared for change. If one is not successful at achieving balance, then you have a person trying hard to stabilize in the face of change, often at an extremely costly amount of effort.

Balance should be *part* of everybody's philisophy, I think, but it should also be tempered and adjusted with adaptability and growth.
